You also have a lot of money invested in Ford's alternative energy vehicles...
and a few other car companies that lined up for DOE money.
When the DOE created a 25B loan program for alternative energy vehicle development.... which was actually a wink wink... bailout program... Ford was one of the first in line asking for 11B, and they received 5.9B.
Then advertised proudly how they build their cars without any taxpayer
money. Last I checked, money from the DOE is 100% taxpayer money.

Just in case there was any misconception that the Volt was the only alternate energy vehicle out there built with the support of taxpayer dollars. It's one of many. Just the most popular headline.
