U.S. Government Pledges $45 Million to Develop Better EV Batteries
The Department of Energy has set up a new program that will fund the domestic development of batteries for electric vehicles that can charge faster and last longer.
Thats the major problem . When the government wants to push a agenda or get involved with a solution problems are created . Sure incentives are great but when its given majority of time greed sets in . Government is not the best business partners
... I am sure you are correct but President Biden has decided that he wants the USA to be a global leader in electric battery technology and manufacturing. Battery design and production is now considered a critical defense technology.
No Not really IE space program, the internet, are just a few examples of Government funding.
Government is a Partner
That is 2 great examples . First the space program that was first started with a blank check from the government telling them to get it done go to the moon . Government stepped out of the way meaning no regulations, no red tape , lawyers , environmentalists and basically getting out of the way . Do you think it would happen today with government to get something like that done in a reasonable time ? Look how quick private sector has taken up the space exploration and is succeeding . Next the internet . No , Al Gore did not invent the internet but public sector brought it to the masses for everyone in a inexpensive way and reliable . But what has happened through the years . Yes , government gets involved with it and we are seeing what happens when they try to make things better . Green energy and green jobs what possibly could happen when government gets involved ? i guess are kids and grand kids will find out .
Even Elon Musk says there is not enough lithium supplies for the electric growth that they are planning for.
