"......The California car firm yesterday revealed plans for the factory that would employ up to 6,500 people , cover 1,000 acres, and cost $5 billion, said the Wall Street Journal,
Solar and wind farms would at least in part supply the huge power needs of the plant in either Nevada, New Mexico, or Arizona. Reno is thought to be a favorite.
Tesla needs its own production to hit its cost target for a more affordable car.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk's idea is a "Gigafactory" that takes in raw materials and produces finished lithium-ion batteries. He has said he intends to build the factory with unidentified partners...."
It looks like its on pyramid hwy.
Tax incentive programs = corruption.
Bingo! We have a winner.
BLM just called off their armed dogs in Nevada. Fox News just carried this news at 12:50 pm EST — BLM has canceled their operation against Mr. Bundy
Well, that is good news. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for the news.
Mr. Bundy’s character and cause was sucking all the air out of the MSM propaganda machine.
I wonder who made the call to withdraw. It would be instructive to know all the interested parties who set this in motion.
Aircraft pilots and others are complaining BIG time about simple handheld lasers shined into their windows from the ground.
Imagine the heat blast from a misaligned mirror assembly!
for now...

“By the time Obama leaves office, 35k for a new car will feel like a bargain.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A distinct possibility, within my lifetime 35 HUNDRED for a new car has gone from a very high price to an impossibility and a laughable impossibility at that. In 1950 you could have bought TWO new cars with 35 HUNDRED dollars and had enough left to buy enough gasoline to make a good start on wearing them out. You could have actually bought THREE of the low end new Ford and had a little gas money left. In those days 35 thousand would have bought a very nice farm with a fine home, livestock, outbuildings and equipment.
None of the current DISinformation being spewed by the government is more absurd than the fantasy they spread about low inflation. My current social security check for an entire year won’t buy the lowest price new car I know of, in 1950 that same amount was the salary of a fairly high level executive who would have been driving a new Cadillac, Imperial or Lincoln, living in a big fine home, taking his well dressed wife out to nice eating places and sending his children to some of the best schools.
