A start-up automotive company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has been loaned more than half a billion dollars by the federal government.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Fisker Automotive Inc. has received $529 million in taxpayer money. The loan was intended to help Fikser produce a hybrid sports car to be sold in Finland.

So when are the folks who are pushing the human caused Global Warming idea going to be asked who is paying THEM to sell this notion? Seems to me, the scientists and professors who are getting grants from the Fed. Govt., and private companies who have a financial stake in Govts. adopting Cap and Trade taxes, are more tainted, in my opinion, than the folks on the other side who just want to see good science being used to study the situation.

From the story:

“The loan was intended to help Fikser produce a hybrid sports car to be sold in Finland.”

So, American tax payers are putting up a DIRECT LOAN (not a gov’t backed loan), for a company to sell status symbols to a foreign company and line Gore's pockets

Where is the investigation? Can I expect to see it on the morning news Tomorrow?

Fisker actually has one of the very few electric / hybrid designs I would consider driving.

I do hope they don't let government money and liberal politics cause them to remove the 300 hp Ecotec turbo engine! :-)

If the Goreickal and OBOZO are mixed up in this POS, you would be wise to just go out and buy a great Porsche! or a Fantastic Corvette with Twin Turbos! Electricity is only good for powering one kind of specialized Chair!
