A Cautionary Tale

Yet another example of why a government, of any level, should leave business to the business world. Granted they would like a world in which lots of people use "green" cars to travel to and from work, but these are only vague fantasies. The reality, as show by the complete failure of electric car companies, is that customers are not willing to pay the extra expense these "green" vehicles require. If customers were willing then these companies would be successes on there one, but instead they continually ask for money to be forcibly taken from the public and given to them for the "good" of all. I wonder how the citizens of Salinas, California feel now they are out the $500,000, plus no tax revenue, plus no nice "green" jobs. I am guessing just a little poor than before.
