So limit drilling for oil on Federal lands and offshore that has a long term affect on gasoline prices, and then take our tax money to subsidize what they want us to drive?

I understand the contention of use of land for drilling on lands and in the waters, their are proponents and opponents, and in democracies we fight about things like that.... But direct money for purcashing products? 10K? Come on, its ridicuous. If anything, they cost of gasoline will natually create markets for the new vehicles wihtout gifts from the Government. Its almost as bad a cash for clunkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The real tragedy is the government subsidizing a product that's manifestly unsafe without cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Large Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 They are actually "coal burning vehicles". Mine Baby Mine. Thats why I find the who shirade a zero sum game. If this country had a strong push in favor of safe, clean nuclear power generation, THEN perhaps the electric car makes alot of sense..... but burning coal, I can't imagine how that satisfies the environmental activists? Solar Panels and Windwills have not caught up tech wise to offset the usage.... And where do the used betteries go? they always say don't throw batteries in the garbage because they are toxic... Doesn't compute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can generate their own electricity when they move! will there be a tax credit for that installation? We can raise all bridges in the US by 15-20 feet.... economy back on fire with new individual power generation and stimulus... It makes sense afterall!
