Sure it will be 5 weeks
This is another nail in the coffin of green eco-products and services that the public DOES NOT WANT.
The stuff does not work as good or as better as conventional fossil-fuel run goods or services .... the government needs to stop wasting the money they have stolen from taxpayers on this broken crap

How can you have such a massive logical inconsistency in one sentence?
Fossil fuels are subsidized at a rate of TEN TO ONE over green products. And fossil fuel products are SIGNIFICANTLY more destuctive to our society than any green product.
If green products were allowed to compete at the same level as fossil fuel products (either by dropping subsidies for fossil fuels, or increasing subsidies for green stuff), they would win hands down.

All it is is senators and congresspeople in certain states just use their power and influence to get pork for their state. This is all the corn and farm subsidiesa are too. Its all just pork and all should be ended
Now idiot democrats want to end subsidies supported by republicans and just give those subsidies to green companies which off course give them more money than republicans.
Its all pure corruption

The volt really isn't a green product.
It uses the electrical grid to charge, and that electricity is produced in large part by burning fossil fuels.
All the volt really does is change where the power is generated, not how.

Fossil fuels aren't subsidized. We pay them to keep open unprofitable operations that the oil companies would have shut down. We don't do that to lower the price. It doesn't lower the price. We do it to keep the workers there employed.
