Also, most of our imported oil comes from Canada.
Ok, the problem here is that gasoline is a widely traded commodity. Because we're importing from Canada that means countries like Japan and China can't buy from there and have to buy from places like Venezuela and Libya. The only way to decrease world wide demand for oil is either through an economic downturn (which is why gas was cheap when GWB left office), increase supply (which we're doing right now), or conservation (which is what the Volt does).
And yeah, the shady dealing sucks. On the other hand, even though we had to go through Solyndra, at least we got Tesla. It's been standard operating procedure since the founding of this country. You bet on some companies, and just hope that most of them make it.

Unfortunately, for every Tesla (which I'm not sure what the return on investment is on that company), there are 5 or more Solyndra's, which is still a big net loss.
Not a Romney fan, but he was right when he said Obama always picks the losers because he and his people don't know how to evaluate companies, products, and markets

You do realize Solyndra was 1 of about 20 "alternative energy" companies that were given money despite all advisers telling Obama they should wait because they are forecasted to fail, yet your master went ahead and did it anyway, right?

Not with tax payer money. This is fine practice for the private industry. With the government this is a systemic neverending plague, that twits from the left embrace.
Embracing failure at every turn. The left's mantra.
