"This outpouring of new electrified cars is a testimonial to the new mantra in Washington—policy creates markets. The U.S. government has committed billions in taxpayers' money to the proposition that American consumers will embrace electric vehicles in substantial numbers if car makers can just overcome the high start-up costs to build them.

The long-term question is whether a market dependent on government subsidies—financial and regulatory—can sustain itself without them."

I say "No, and we can't afford to play this game NOW".
