When you add up the Tesla taxpayer funded subsidies did you bother to include the $250 million Kali state environmental credits? Did you include that 15% of automakers must have certain vehicles so Tesla sells their credits to other automakers? No? Didn’t think so.
Electric requires taxpayer and other car purchasers to subsidize it because it isn’t commercially viable.
Socialism sucks. It never pays off.
Thank you for providing the data that supports my statement.
“You haven’t counted in that taxpayer funding all the grants towards.”
Actually that was exactly what I was addressing. Please read the link in case it is not clear (here it is again).
“I guess you missed the stories on Nickel mining and cleanup.”
I guess you missed the fact that electric cars today use lithium ion, not nickel–metal hydride. You are thinking of the Prius.
“Nuclear energy still produces massive amounts of nuclear waste materials that we still don’t know how to dispose of it. To claim there is no waste involved is just a bold faced lie.”
No one claimed that nuclear produces no waste. What we are talking about here is pollution, and so far the U.S. has done an exemplary job preventing nuclear waste from contaminating the environment.
“If electric cars were such a great deal then you wouldn’t need taxpayer funding of any sort. Obviously, electric cars are not worth the money since it takes taxpayers to fund them.”
The same could have been said for the Internet before private enterprise took over. Then there is the space industry, which is now transitioning to the private sector.
If the United States and Europe transition to electric vehicles and it prevents the next oil war in the middle east while at the same time bankrupting Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, then I think there is a definite public interest in encouraging the technology.
You’re wasting your time arguing common sense with the liberal noobs, they believe everything Owl Gore tells them.
Eco-twits are just like feminazis, nothing matters by their agenda.
