Going green does not save you anything, it always costs. Just take that crappy little Chevy Volt. A crummy little electric sardine can that costs as much as a Lincoln Navigator, who in their right mind would buy a Volt? Wind and solar are extremely costly and proven inefficient, same with ethanol. Nothing in the green industry can survive without a government handout.

Taxpayers are on the hook for an electric car company that went belly up. Check this ingenious government “investment” out. They sure have some real simpletons on the city council that authorized this “funding.”

A Salinas car manufacturing company that was expected to build environmentally friendly electric cars and create new jobs folded before almost any vehicles could run off the assembly line.

The city of Salinas had invested more than half a million dollars in Green Vehicles, an electric car start-up company.

All of that money is now gone, according to Green Vehicles President and Co-Founder Mike Ryan.

Those with common sense never would have invested in this green euphorion pipe dream. It’s easy to spend other people’s money, but would you have invested your money in this? That’s what I thought. If it’s not good enough for you, it shouldn’t be good enough for government.

Look at this piece of crap. Yeah, we’re stylin’ now, aren’t we? Honey, pack up the luggage and the kids, we’re going on vacation! Really? The wind behind a semi would blow this thing over killing everyone inside. This was a dumb idea from the get-go. Doomed to fail, and it did.
