Tesla is leading the world in advances of using solar to power cars, the govt should be pumping ten times that amount to them.

I couldn't agree more with this. This is cutting edge stuff that Toyota, Ford, and Chevy cannot do and here we have this little scrappy upstart that is about to turn the automobile industry upside down.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, oil is they key here. We need oil to move our cars around and oil to move our products around. Our entire economy revolves around oil, and our entire defense plan is based on it. Here we have a small company that might just change that - you would think the US Government would be investing billions after billions just for the chance to be done with oil.
But do you see the irony here? They are bitching about throwing "bad money" at green company that is able to build battery powered cars that don't need oil while also bitching that Obama is not issuing enough permits to drill. Battery powered cars is bad, but sucking every last drop of oil out of federally owned property is good. You know, it's all about big business.
(And while I'm at it, if Tesla can make battery powered cars that can go 300 miles on a charge, why isn't the bigger companies like Chevy and Ford trying to buy them?)
