Millions given to a company in which nothing is being accomplished is wasted. Give me $150 million guys and I'll start a battery company too. Morons. |

Why don't you buy some stock in LG Chem and then you'll have a right to b*tch about what they are not doing well. From what you posted they seem to be caught in a market that is not opening as fast as it was expected to, and the plant stillseems to be standing, so the waste hasn't happened yet.

If the current attitude exhibited by the right wing in this country were pervasive in years past, we would never have put a man on the moon, or a whole lot of other technological advances that have spin off benefits. Our technological gains weren't all pure capitalism at work, it was a joint investment with government paying a major role. When preparing for the future, not everything is going to be successful. But, to use the mistakes to justify doing nothing is really counter productive thinking. Risk taking isn't just important in the private sector. Part of preparing for the future is encouraging development of new and better energy sources. Right now, you have those benefitting financially from the current energy sources trying to inhibit progress. That's not in the countries interest. |

Quite true, Tom. I consider it part of the government's responsibility to support long term projects that will benefit the nation eventually, but are too expensive/long term/risky for private capital. |
