This week we explore that funky fact that the United States government over the last 40 years or so has been putting hundreds of millions of dollars behind research into innovative electric, hybrid and PHEV vehicles that produce spectacular one of a kind vehicles. What happened to these vehicles? What happened to the innovations?
To see some picture of these vehicle go to

All research is like flushing money down the drain. It is even worse as most of it is corrupt. This so called carbon cap and trade is the worst. Government agencies like the NREL are wasteful scams.The best way to spend tax dollars is to put a credit on electric cars. $1 billion in funds a year, adjusted for inflation, over the next 50 years. Would put 10,000 electric cars yearly on the road at $100,000 rebate per car. From this new battery tech would be developed. That is far less than the money they waste yearly. My as well give people unemployment checks.BTW, how many Teslas have been made?

There have been over 1000 Teslas shipped.
Joe, I just wanted to send you some feedback saying that I appreciate the effort you have put into the show. Your episodes of the EVCast are the only one with real meat putting things into perspective. The other EVCast shows are all about what is "new". Often you cannot learn much from that.
Thanks
John C. Briggs
