Looks like some more DNC supporters are looking for their pay outs...
Solyndra anyone?
How about the Internet? Good use of federal research dollars?

This is what the private sector is for! This guy thinks the governemnt should do everything!
This is for basic research, something the private sector gave up on ago. Will help fund graduate students, who will then go into industry, where results from basic research get applied.
This is a win-win situation. Cheaper gas for electric car haters, cheaper and better electric cars for electric car lovers.
Except, of course, for the taxpayer who gets fleeced...
I didn't know you cared so much about bicyclists! Everyone else will benefit.
