I was responding to to post #51 which you clicked the "Like" button on, BTW.Right. So follow along. Folks attack Tesla for benefiting from some form of government stimulus...whatever people chose to call it, or whatever form it takes. We call them out for being hypocritical and not applying the same standards to the O&G industry and you chimed in and said show me where O&G ever took a check written by the U.S. government.
How is that relevant unless you were implying that Tesla had or that O&G not having received such a check cleared them of receiving any stimulus?
Is it really hypocritical though? That's the question. Solyndra skated on a $535 million dollar loan backed by the DOE and another $25 million to the state of California. How about Solopower? I could go on but, these were actual taxpayer dollars that got just lost along with all the tax breaks and "revenue" that they should have been paying along the way to oblivion. Have any O&G companies met the same fate? I'm not aware of any but could be wrong. Care to discuss wind energy subsidies? Those eyesores wouldn't even exist without all the extra help from the .fed and state commissions because they will never pay back their cost of manufacturing, transportation, erection, maintenance and disposal costs. And they aren't even close to being "green". lol
