I think it should, but I wonder... am I alone here?

Any tour through the conservative blogs or the Wall Street Journal on-line will bring you in contact with a snarling horde of anti-EV sentiment.
This is because they hate subsidies and communal action that requires government intervention, unless it is military.
sjfotos said:What they neglect to understand is that the current system is itself a beneficiary of many subsidies, they are just less explicit.
sjfotos said:Hopefully, the EVs will be able to get off the ground before the subsidies are withdrawn and the critical mass will be built to get us off the oil train.

Wow.
Well as a Republican and middle of the road conservative I think your just pushing bias crap. I have a solar home and I am going to buy the leaf. I am not some left wing tree hugger. I just buy things with the future in mind. I ask myself what is the price for say gas or electric in the future 10 years down the road. I drive near 80 miles to work and back and in 5 years at current gas prices I will save about $9,000. So the leaf over 10 years will only cost what I would have paid for a ICE Honda Fit. I am in to new high tech stuff and this is going to be my new toy.Dav said:But how can you extend that to the Leaf?
The question is how do conservatives feel about the Leaf,
not how do they feel about the Leaf subsidy.
I approve of the Leaf, not of the subsidy. I'm waaay far right.
