Oh my word, don’t you see the corruption going on here. Obama is having us fund this project by taxing us on green taxes for emissions from our cars, etc. he is funding this whole project from tax dollars. the tenders are not going to the best company, they are going to people he chooses. every one of them are going to be rich, and to encourage us to buy their cars, they are reducing the cost of the batteries by subsidizing them, and who is paying for the subsidies. they will encourage us to buy the cars, by taxing us if we don’t. they control everything, the motor industry, the banks, and soon they will own and control you. there isn’t going to be a middle class in america. this is a world organization that is bent on destroying the middle class, in order for an elite group to control and benefit from the enslavement of a poor class. wake up world, this is just the beginning. they have already gone into countries like south africa and brazil and bought the government, and soon the people in those countries will be taxed to death to pay back these bogus loans they lent them. they took away brazil’s water to pay for the loans they lent them. they are doing it everywhere.

[...] It’s not just clean coal. As I wrote last week, Obama & Co. are ready to place bets on which companies and regions are likely to develop battery technology for electric cars. (See Uh-Oh: Obama’s battery gold rush). [...]

So Marc, this raises the question, why are you impressed with BYD? China has a much larger hand in every aspect of its economy, including nascent efforts to promote green technology. Did they pick the “right” winner in this case?
