For those that like to battle FUD, there's tons in the article and the subsequent comments section. I've already put my $.2 in.

You're ascribing too much wisdom to Congress. The only thing Congress did was to give California the right to impose stricter environmental standards on cars sold there. It's California that created the ZEV credit program and imposed a carbon tax. About 1/4 of the U.S. population lives in a state with a reciprocal ZEV program.Congress, in its "Wisdom", created Cap-and-Trade as part of environmental bill. The rationale is that green companies will benefit by selling its zero emission credits and "dirty" industries will buy them to balance out their carbon foot print. IMHO it is more about creating a secondary market for banks to profit by participating in trading "emission credits" in the market place.
At some point a Tesla will be my ONLY vehicle...

Its just right wing trash.
Actually it is not. It is a hit piece couched in political rhetoric. A true conservative should be all for Tesla and what they have achieved.
It is only the nutty fringe, which the Left has as well, that is trying to be riled up. Most people reading the article don't understand the implications or have any reference other than the quick talking points. That is why I was taking the effort to point out the larger picture to them. There were at least three commenters with an open mind enough to see the misinformation for what it was when given the perspective. No thinking person likes to be manipulated. That article is just pure propaganda with an agenda.
