Another Outrage No One Will Care About

Without the government subsidizing the price of the Volt, it would be dead in the water. Part of the sales jump is government demanding that agencies buy Volts. GE, an electric company, has also purchased a number of Volts for their fleet.

Normal people don't want one. Which makes sense, since you do.

My point is that there has to be incentives to try something new and unproven/ unpopular. With tinkering something good can come from it. ( marinara)

In the case of tomato . Those fuckers were hungry.

Loose analogy . But I hope it provides a different perspective.

I don't think government should be picking and choosing which "new and unproven" technologies we should be adopting. That's what the market is for. Government's role should only be to protect patents, provide a forum to prosecute fraud, not support monopolies, and get out of the way of the economy so real innovators can flourish.
