I recently argued that instead of subsidizing a particular type of car and most of that tax money going into the pockets of large, foreign-owned auto manufacturers, perhaps the US should be funding thorium power research.

Create safe, cheap, and plentiful nuclear power, and as a side benefit we can allow Iran all the nuclear power they want. Win, win, win, win.

Instead we'd rather send pipe-bomb money their way and solve no problems. After all, if we solved all the problems, what use would we be?
