Any time anybody complains about subsidies going to electric vehicle manufacturers I just have to roll my eyes and ask about the auto industry bailout. Same thing with solar energy and our military expenditures to ensure compliant regimes in oil-producing lands -- not to mention corporate welfare in general. You want a level playing field?
