    In part, the article reads:

    "Fisker Automotive and the U.S. Department of Energy have agreed to loan terms for $528.7 million to bring an affordable electric car to the mass market.

    Most of the money will go towards Project NINA, which aims to bring a plug-in hybrid car to market for under $40,000 (after tax breaks)."

    I don't know about "you" -- "you" meaning ... any-and-all who might chance to read this post -- but for "me" and, I dare say, for about 85% of American households, "$40,000 (after tax breaks)" doesn't qualify as a definition of "affordable"!
