in addition to the tax breaks, Washington (teamO) gave Tesla a half a Billion dollars in guaranteed loans. ...same for Fiskar. IOW, it's been raining money on these "green" (wink wink) business.

The big fault in the plan, is of course, the pesky fact that hydrocarbons are cheap and have a much higher energy density than battery packs.
