I’ll read Al Gore when he writes half as well as Earth2Tech.

Tesla isn’t the alternative to the “Big Three.” Face facts: Tesla is nothing more than Elon Musk’s science project, financed as a vanity project.

The alternative to the “Big Three” is a redesigned, streamlined “Big Three” building cars without the benefit of unionized labor. Let the market make these companies better and more competitive.

In spirit you rage is well directed. But

If you had read AL GORE’s OPED — He specifically called attention to non-big 3 automakers that are designing automobiles of the future — The Tesla’s o f the world. you can learn more at

http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/funding-roundup-tesla-gets-40m–5105.html

we can’t escape the fact that automobiles are our largest manufacturing sector, nor can we escape the fact that we need Wall Street to finance new innovation — but we can begin to look at biz models and hard assets in a harsher light.
