President Obama’s clean energy program included $36 billion in taxpayer funding, more than double that of the previous administration, and a lot of that money went into electric cars.
Obama touted his decision to use federal stimulus money to “invest†heavily into electric cars and clean energy at the climate summit in Paris this week, saying his administration has “met our goals a lot quicker than expected.â€
But investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson delved into the program in her latest production of Full Measure and found the program’s goals are actually way behind.
In her segment titled “Electric cars running on E,†Attkisson pointed out that the goal of putting 1 million electric cars on the road by the end of 2015 has fallen woefully short. Only about one-third that many electric cars, heavily subsidized with tax incentives, have been sold.
And six of the 11 main manufacturers have gone belly up or stopped manufacturing, she said.
Tesla Motors got half a billion dollars to make the Model 2 electric vehicle. It was one of the few success stories. It went from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and strong sales helped it pay back its $10 million government loan early.

Every claim he makes is bizarre. Everything he does is bizarre along with it being evil and illegal.
LOL! I kinda thought that was a given. I guess it could have been “O-— makes bizarre false claims about ________” Fill in the blank with subject of your choice.

Is that common core math?
They got a half billion but “paid it back” with 10 Mil?
Definitely! Hahahaha.

Math, anyone?
LOL! Yeah common core math. Not to mention the tax breaks NV let them have to build their battery factory just east of Reno.
wouldn’t it be greener for the Casinos to turn off at least half of the outside lights?
on topic, the obama claim was not bizarre. It was merely an ordinary obama lie. Obama always lies about everything
to be bizarre would be for him to utter truth
See...even when we’re wrong, we’re right!
If you like your electric car, you can keep your electric car.
It would be totally bizarre for him to to utter the truth as Communism is based on nothing but lies.
If Tesla wasn’t selling carbon credits, they’d be losing $$ to this day. Their so-called ‘profit’ for 2014 is an accounting trick akin to the Clinton Surplus...
The only thing propping up Tesla is the government, printed $$ and the carbon scheme. Getting emotional about Tesla - as some FReepers do - is counter-intuitive to the small-government/free market principle and, in fact, hypocritical.
#4 Money laundering took most of the money.
