Gore-backed electric car company gets $529M US govt. loan.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125383160812639013.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLTopStories

Why a tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore and his new Kleiner Perkins venture partners merit a $529 million taxpayer-funded loan to build a hybrid sports car -- in Finland of all places -- that will sell for about $89,000 is simply beyond me. This is not about stimulus, investment or energy efficiency in the slightest.
