Tesla paid it back the $365 Million from the stimulus plan, a full 5 years ahead of schedule, twice as fast as required by the original 2010 loan agreement provided to them by the Department of Energy. http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/earl...la?s-atvm-loan
And don't forget other car companies benefitted as well.
Next, Those very same batters are in your laptops, which make up alot more batteries than Tesla cars. By your thinking, everyone should stop buying laptops.
Next, batteries are SAFE and can be recycled. Gasoline on the other hand, pollutes when refined, pollutes when pumped into your car, and pollutes when it is burned. It costs 16 times more than Electricity to get the same milage.
There are so many ill informed dumb fucking idiots out there who instead of opening a science book and learning the basics much prefer to spout endless shit and then pat them selves on the back for "I dun think I lernd sumfin today I tell yer whut!". If you're one of those dumb fucks that ignore true progress and replace it with republican-fed lies to the small-brained morons of the world I feel really fucking sorry for you. |
I'm sorry, are you saying the article is wrong? No you are changing the subject, needless to say, we gave a "loan" to a company to research something that should not be used in it's current configuration.

If I bought and electric car, what would weigh more, the batteries from my laptop and cell phone or the car? See that's what Obama wants, all of us driving electric cars! So your argument is null and void

In Los Angeles, as you know, the air quality gets better and better, when is the last time you saw black smoke coming from a big rig?
If Obama wanted to really do something about air quality and gas mileage, he would pass a law to make the stop lights work so we spent less time stopped at them

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
