Government has NO business in business. They should be FAR more concerned with getting their own house in order.

I'm ok with people betting the house with their own money, but once again we see a total waste of taxpayer money wasted on this fools investments. What is it, the third one this week?

Anyone wonder why there is so LITTLE press on these things? Billions of OUR dollars, not the government's dollars, being WASTED on boondogles and there is hardly a mention. Why is it that so FEW people seem to understand that the government has NO money and can ONLY obtain it by TAKING it from those who EARN it?

IF all of this 'green stuff' that Obama is wasting OUR money on was SO good why is it that every 'greenie weenie' is not out there investing THEIR hard earned money on it? If THEY want it, make it happen. Why should WE be FORCED to pay for this garbage?

The really sad thing about this plant is that it used to be producing RV's. The Battery crew came in and changed the plant around to produce Volt Battery's. Now all those people are right back where they were a couple of years ago. They are complaining about people playing Monopoly on the clock. How would you feel after that history? Not many people would be very incuraged to work.

Nothing in the article mentioned a disaster.

Checked MSNBC and couldn't find it.

You really won't find it anywhere other than Fox at this time because it is not even a story yet. It is the start of an investigation that may possibly lead to a story.

Besides, the factory is poised to take off:

"Industry observers and company officials say the more than $1.1 billion committed to the industry in West Michigan positions the region well when the market does take off, even if that is a decade away. "

Obviously, it is an idea ahead of it's time.
After only 10 years of playing monopoly this thing will take off.

And . . . It only needs a few simple things to fall in place:

"Many experts think the market eventually will react favorably to electric vehicles. But it requires numerous factors to fall into place, including high gasoline prices, government subsidies on EVs and an available charging infrastructure. "

See? Just keep fuel prices high and keep the subsidies coming.
As far as the infrastructure that should have been in place before hand, well . . . They Didn't Build That!
