No CEO is going to talk poorly about their companies or an industries chance of survival or bite the presidential hand that feeds them in a scenario such as this. They want to reassure consumers of their product while keeping the door open to dealing with, perhaps, a new presidential administration.

Elon Musk's (and extend family's) businesses built with the help of tax funded money:

Tesla Motors (elec cars)

Solar City (solar panels)

Space X (rocket launch)

I hope Romney and Congress can eliminate CAFE. Not just look at it.

This article is worded like a hit piece but it doesn’t explain why cutting taxpayer subsidies to EV producers is a bad thing. I suspect it could be used as effective Romney campaign literature.

Solar City does not make solar panels, China makes them. What Solar City does is sign people up to buy crappy Chinese panels in exchange for government and ratepayer subsidies (paid by the rest of us) that generate electricity when it is not needed, and not lowering by one iota the amount of fossil fuel used (the boilers under the generators need to stay hot for daily post solar use). The best that can be said for solar is that it is not as bad as wind.

Once the cheap solar panels have broken in about 20 years, the victims of Solar City's scam will still be on the hook for the payments.
