Gore gets $500Mil loan to build $89k elec. cars in Finland.

Nice of Al Gore to take our money and jobs overseas and build a car most people can't afford.

Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan - WSJ.com

So between Fisker and Tesla, $1 billion dollars has been loaned to companies to go outside the US and build expensive electric/hybrid sports cars, built by someone from another country, getting paid by my tax dollars. Thanks Al. But as long as the rich people feel good about saving the environment, and still do not have to be inconvenienced, it's ok. Now there is an "Inconvenient Truth".

I object to your title. Al Gore backs California car company Fisker, Fisker gets $500m loan. Al Gore did not get a $500m loan.

This should be in the Lounge, not the Hybrids forum.

Not that I'm endorsing this deal, but there's a lot wrong with the OP.
