Something else that I realized after a meeting last night, is that there is a tax credit for the electric car. And this huge bailout included funding for that. I have to ask, if the government wants us to do something, why? and who benefits? I know that there is the great guy that has the electric car here in Missouri, who we met last night. His van is very affordable, and that tax credit makes them 1/2 price after you get the credit of course. Now, I have to wonder why the government would do this. Then I hear that the big oil companies are buying up as many solar panel companies etc as they can. And there is your answer. We are switching from BIG OIL to still pay those who own BIG OIL... All the while thinking that we are getting out from under them, only to be giving them more $$$ and continuing to empower them. I guess with solar power you can still sell people electricity for all their cars even when other power sources dry up due to heavy taxation on coal produced electricity and so on...
