Why are they going to spend millions in Sarasota to build electric car charging stations when (1) no electric?

car sales in Sarasota and (2) hardly any sales anywhere! Another government waste project?


Answer
There's no reason for government to be involved in subsidizing electric cars, just like there's no reason for billions in government welfare handouts to oil companies. It all should stop.

The best solution for electric car charging stations is to let free enterprise take care of it. Several large retailers - so far, Meijer, CostCo, Walgreens, and Best Buy - have installed free charging stations to lure electric vehicle drivers to their stores. As electric cars gain a foothold, other retailers will follow suit.
*
As to sales of electric cars, the problem is on the supply side, not the demand side. The Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf have been manufactured in limited numbers and sold just to test markets this year, to shake out any production bugs in the cars. Neither car is in full production until 2012.

If Obama wins do you think he can subsidize electric cars in some way?

For those counting their dollars like me. We all pretty much know that the middle east is going to blow up if not sooner. My boyfriend bought me a gas guzzler since he wreaked my car. My car was at least more fuel effecient. But I don't thing I will be able drive too much on 8 or 9 dollar a gallon year. Geez the oil companies are still making a mint with Obama. They are putting tv on gas stations with advertisements ad. Uggh!


Answer
He already is. It is already $7500 per car (of taxpayer money).

Oh, and BTW, the oil companies themselves make a profit of 7-8 cents on a gallon of gasoline. They do indeed make billions of dollars, but that is only because they sell so many gallons. The next time you go to a filling station note the tax info posted on the pump. Government makes 300%-400% as much as oil companies do on a gallon of gas.
