It would be nice to know how many of these super electric cars have to be sold for the manufacturer to break even. With and without the tax credits.
Tesla lost $74 million on sales just short of $2 billion in 2013. Cumulative losses from 2009 through 2013 were about $935 million.

German auto brand Volkswagen's XL1, which it claims is the most fuel-efficient production car ever made, has been named the winner of the Transport category at Designs of the Year 2014.

And it's a looker.
According to Robert Patton, the director of Oklahoma's department of corrections, when doctors felt that the drugs were not having the required effect on Lockett, they discovered that a vein had ruptured.
This is not a problem related to the drug(s) used but incompetent administration.
This in spite of myriad objections that the drugs being used for both lethal injections had not been tested
How does one test lethal injections?
The author is recommending that local government own and control "the internet." He uses public roads as an example of local government ownership -- potholes and all.
When communities own their roads they can and have established the rules of the road. This is why the average speed and carrying capacity of these local roads have skyrocketed in the last two decades.
Local government ownership of public schools has given us a fine education system turning out young adults that know far more and are more prepared for good jobs than 20 or 30 or 50 years ago.
You can fire your local cable provider and stop paying if you don't like the product. Try to stop paying taxes sometime.
By the way, in most places the local cable provider has been handed a franchise by the local government. Clearly they (the government) was knowledgeable and able to specify a high performance product at a fair and reasonable price before awarding the franchise. Weren't they?
Let the "activists" put up the money, buy a fleet of these things and sell rides through the park. We'll see if the tourists pay for the electrics or the real horses.
I'll take the horses.
Oh, the corn. Think of the corn. Children will starve in Des Moines.

Right question: "Will This Flying Car Get Off the Ground?" As in, "Will This Flying Car Ever Make a Profit?"
Just like all others before it, no.
That's 100 (or 93) faculty members out of "about 2,400 faculty members."
Another headline could be, "2,307 Harvard Faculty Members Don't Call On the University to Divest From Fossil Fuels."
If adware is malware, why wait until July?
Because if they just popped it on the unsuspecting world with neither prior notification nor opportunity for users and IT professionals to react and inform, pundits would be caught unaware and unprepared and spend the next weeks complaining. Loudly. Vociferously. Obnoxiously. And users would be more pissed off than they will be in any case.
According to industry experts
Just like one service can't provide customers with a wide range of top-notch retail products. Except for Amazon.
Perhaps public high schools should be held to the same standard. Like Charter Schools.
Your calculation implies that the benefit is full employment. The benefit of science is knowledge. You get an F.
The poster asserts, "Government-funded science is struggling in the United States."
The Federal Government spends more than $130 billion on research and development (R&D) each year, conducted primarily at universities and Federal laboratories.

How much should the taxpayers spend on research? Show your work.
You'll notice in the graph at your link that the temperature trend is flat since about 2000. No warming. Thanks for proving my point.
