I find it interesting these senators don’t bitch and moan about GM moving all their production and sales to China.

Can this investment be stopped? Is it too late?

@Modern Marvel Fan — Your short-sightedness is typcial of what ails this country. All you seem to care about is that the taxpayer doesn’t lose money–anyone willing to allow technology transfer to the Chinese at fire-sale prices, should be considered a traitor.

Well, first of all, the tax payer loans were “loans”. As long as the Chinese pay it back, I am okay with it. As far as IP goes, well if that IP can become product, then it is useless. Maybe the Chinese can commericalize it correctly and cheaply…

The best move I see for the good of our country and people is to let A123 fail and to have the courts award the IP to another U.S. company...a company that can manage and develop a market for the product.

The idea of the Chinese buying the company is not for the good of the people but for the good of a few management people who have proven to be poor at their jobs.

I believe the A123 products have great potential to sell well; their discharge rate of 23C is un-beatable and will make an excellent product for selling on the street. This product was financed by tax-payer funds and belongs to the American people. Poo! on this global economy crap...it's us giving away our money and future!
