reminds me of Tesla Motors getting almost as many millions as they’ve built cars.... ugh
Just the fact that Al Gore is in on this smells to the hilt. He just takes his cut and sticks it in a Swiss bank account. Crooks and thieves. They have a gigantic scam going. They should all be in jail over this.
If I recall my earlier reading correctly, the first model put out under this taxpayer funded idiocy only achieves 52 miles per gallon.
Paging the RNC for ad opportunities!
The Fisker is a luxury electric car. Following the socialist plan, 0bama should be pushing a People’s Car.

Drudge has an article from Forbes that this car is not as good on gas as a Ford SUV. Obama’s boys are playing with the numbers. The Forbes people used a formula developed by the Clinton people - no credibility doubt here - that show the actual usage a 18 or 19 MPG if i remember correctly.
The car is a dog. Venture capitalist Zer0 strikes out!
Insanity!
We must clean out the DOE and other agencies of these Obamobots immediately!

Neo-fascism pays well for the neo-totalitarians.
