Good article and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you folks have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thank you

I agree Califonia could probably produce a very American Car. Whitout the help of the FFFF, Federal Government cannot!!! The big 3 are union losers!! Lose them and let California Build and American Car. Simple strategy, lose the union, gain the production of autos in this country,!!!!!

Critics of Diesel say that the new “clean” engines will make a difference in demand. I disagree! Most diesels sold in the US are in higher-priced luxury type cars. Who wants to pay $50-60,000 for a noisy diesel that shakes and rattles???

IMO diesel + electric will be the future.

Trains show this tried and true method of transportation is good.

Diesel motor on bio-D is cleaner than gas , is renewable , and would give people long range clean driving.

Plug in for city / Bio-D for long trips or when battery gets low for charging purposes.

What sullivas6 said has proved true in bailing out the banks, unfortunately.

For a president that touts innovation, the gov’t did not put its money where its mouth is. If you want speed of innovation, we need to look at smaller companies that show promise. I wonder if the big boys are able to use the funds to buy the smaller guys; that would be capitalism, not innovation. Unfortunately, politicians use our money for politics and influence and not for the good of the country.

Corporations do not create innovation they stifle it. Major itechnological changes are created by an individual who is allow the freedom to do so without bureaucratic ditates from the coporate elite whose only concere is the bottom line and their own selfish interests. Changes occur when money is not the issue. Without restrictions the indiviual will “think outside the box” and find a way past the roadblocks imposed on them by the corporate bureaucrats.

Talk nonsense about not wanting stimulus money in districts and you should need to explain to businesses why you don’t support them over stupid political ideologies. Mitch needs to borrow John Boehner’s tanning bed & explain to the folks here why he doesn’t support us lets chew on some grass & say hee-haw.

This report doesn’t share the full picture. If you have dealt with startups, you know that you need to support the best. Others vanish in few years. You would then blame the government for wasting money. They gave funds to “Tesla” as they show promise. You will see “Fisker” die down in few as they are not the best.
The report doesn’t even mention a123systems which got a big chunk to setup a battery plant in Michigan. Again they are the leaders with technology coming right out of MIT.
Does anyone seriously think that calcars will be around in 5 years ??
