Jim in Anchorage Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Quick! Repeal the Pacific Railroad Act, government must never do anything!!!! If you mean the trans Continental railroad the Government MADE money on that. Maybe because it actually needed, not some pipe dream electric car?

DC Tom Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If you mean the trans Continental railroad the Government MADE money on that. Maybe because it actually needed, not some pipe dream electric car? More generally, because it was based on sound fiscal and economic principles, and not a misapplied "community development grant". Funny, though...isn't Dave one of the first to decry corporate welfare...? !@#$ing moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he thinks it was a government project. Missing the fact UP and CP where paid by the mile of track laid [bonds, land]. The whole produce and be rewarded thing seems to miss him.

....lybob Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The city of Salinas had invested more than half a million dollars in Green Vehicles, an electric car start-up company. Half a million dollars!!!! that's almost a Tomahawk missile- seriously though if they put that money in after they knew the Volt, Leaf and iMiEV were coming out then they are Morons the only chance a small independent automaker has is being in a niche they have all to themselves- you'd have a much better chance by making a component- electric motor, battery, controller, energy efficient air conditioner, software, energy return shock absorber , etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
