If the U.S. govt spend $250 million dollars to help auto companies develop electric cars ??

Question

that would prove to be a net gain in terms of conservation and obviously weaning us from oil .etc...., would it be worth it? Would you support it....if the goal was so that within 10 years or less all cars on U.S. roads would be gasoline free?

or are you one of those people that simply says.......no govt action or prodding or leadership is necessary...that we should simply let "the markets" determine when we wean ourselves from oil.

Answer 1

Subsidizing companies to produce things you want them to produce never works. All that happens is the pocket the money.

If you want your govt to get into producing electric cars they should just produce the cars or buy them from China.
