I think some one is trying to cook up an another "alternative energy" scam.

A few years a go the federal government was giving away billions of dollars to start up solar panel manufactures. They took the money and closed their doors with in a year, once all the money was hidden, I mean gone. After this happened about 50 times, over the course of 2 or 3 years, the exact same way each and every time the government eventually got wise to them.

There was another one of these start ups that wanted to make natural gas powered vehicles built especially for disabled people. The federal government gave them millions upon millions of dollars just so they could figure out most places didn't have CNG and there really wasn't any market for their product. When the money was gone the doors closed for good.

A prime example of your tax dollars hard at work.

So if you have a totally stupid idea (doesn't have to be original) that can bring together school children or disabled people, alternative energy in the name of saving the world from the global warming bogie man you too can get a ridiculous amount of other peoples money form the government to piss away.
