So, let's add it up:  we're subsidizing through tax money the manufacture and purchase of the electric cars and the electricity to charge them at Walgreen's through higher prices at the store.  How nice for the "virtuous".

Yes, great isn't it?

they couldn't do it without the government but they're sooooo much better than us who try to minimize our dependence on the government

HotAir just posted a link to the Weasel Zippers article link that I posted above. It's a great story and, like the phoniness of recycling, it needs to become common knowledge:

Green doesn't work unless it makes economic sense. Period. If it requires subsidies, tax credits, etc. then it does not work. If you don't get paid to do it then it does not work. If there isn't a reasonable return on investment then it does not work. And most of all, if there is not a market demand for it then it does not work.

You know what is to be expected?  Somebody owning a Tesla plugged into an outlet anywhere (not just Walgreen's) getting keyed, tires slashed...windows busted...messages spray painted...

  Wait till those saviors of the planet find out that their car dropped 33 1/2%in value the second they drove off the lot.I had the article about a week ago and can't find it.We had a used Volt for three months on the lot and finally took it to the auction to get our ass handed to us with the loss we had to take to get it out of our lives.

  Right now we have 6 new ones and not one soul even asks about them in the sense of maybe a purchase or lease and it's been about four months since they came on the lot.I called this last year and it's only going to get worse for those cars across the board.
