Eh, not really. I'm conservative but we need to stop kidding ourselves by claiming one outlet or pundit or another has a monopoly on objective news. Short of merging the New York Times with the Wall Street Journal, I can't point to one outlet I would say is totally neutral. You have to consider multiple sources, then arrive at your own conclusion.

Government subsidizes plenty of stuff: corn, mortgage interest, student loans, charitable donations, etc. Is your argument that any tax benefit for something is bad?

Just as impressive to me is the difference in fuel economy: M3 14/20; 16 combined. Mustang 5.0 17/26; 20 combined.

That's the problem right now. Without $4+ a gallon gasoline, the incentive just isn't there. I think this technology needs to be tried, but the timing right now could kill it. It all depends on where the gasoline prices are in the next year or two.

I'm sorry it was taken to that level, because political discussion is not allowed on this site.
