So your link is a right wing think tank that praises teabaggers, Yeah I'm going to believe that, just like I believe that half of Americans are freeloading deadbeats.
Even if it was true, which I doubt, how much of that was spent on research and development? Didn't think I'd come up with that diddy did you?
A second w/ Google reveals that the $250,000 figure is all over the internet. Don't you think that if there were any obvious errors in the analysis GM and Barack would have by now spread that all over the internet too?
The Obama Administrations' favorite car has had a rough time of late with sales goals not being met, exploding cars at NHTSA and media exposure of the high cost to taxpayers regarding Chevy Volt subsidies and federal funding of township purchases. Considering all the money spent by GM to hype the vehicle, the Worst Flop award is well-deserved.
Money is fungible.....so of course GM was "extremely excited" to put its focus on the Volt. Wouldn't you be "extremely excited" if the federal government came in and took care of your disastrous balance sheet and allowed you to splurge on the toys you've always dreamed of but knew were never going to be profitable?
Thank you Obama. I love paying for failed ventures dreamed up by failed companies!!
Have you heard that GM is pondering shipping the production of the Volt to Cbina? I heard that this afternoon.

Oh well, speaking about tea party people in praising terms surely makes everything you say all lies. I sure hope that Obama never speaks about them like that since his lies are all so easily seen.

Did you guys bother reading the second part of my post or are you just ignoring it.
How much of that alleged 250K went to research and development?
FWIW - the Chevy Volt is not a viable solution to the problem of petroleum consumption. . . or the cost of infrastructure needed to support it.
Based on current technology, and barring some breakthrough, the most efficient form of land transport is steel wheel on steel rail. . . preferably electric powered. Which means that instead of subsidizing the automobile / petroleum / pavement paradigm, government should have been supporting electric traction rail - since 1973.
Your link is to an article from back in the fall of 2010. That was before the big push in North Dakota and Canada. Sorry.
Ah yes oil shale and tar sands are going to save the world. I think you'll find the experts have taken into consideration these alternative 'oils' for years, and can accurately project what oil production will be 6-7 years in advance because of the lead in times for big projects.
