Why is PAXP AWOL on Detroit Bailout?

The contemplated $50 Billion federal bailout of GM, Ford, and Chrysler has the potential to destroy the PAXP competition and the emerging growth high technology automaker startups that are counting on it.

Why arent you, and all XPF supporters, out there raising hell in opposition to this insane idea?

The very first question each PAXP company gets asked by venture capitalists is "How can you ever possibly overcome the dominance of the Big Three?". Unable to satisfactorily respond to this, supermileage ventures remain at the fringe. However, providence has given the answer: left to their own, the traditional automakers will be out of business within two years.

To save the domestic American auto industry, it is necessary that the Big Three be allowed to crash and burn, so that new carmakers, such as www.aptera.com, and www.fuelvaporcar.com can fill the void. XPF should be parading their prototypes around the U.S. Capitol RIGHT NOW to dispell the myth that Detroit is essential to the industry's future..

By way of comparison, if Congress had not bailed out Boeing and Lockheed-Martin's rocket businesses with multiple rounds of subsidies for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle, how much further along would SpaceX and the other new technology space ventures be right now?

Peter,
You crossed my mind a few times. Was just wondering what you have been up to drop me an email when you get a chance.
