Congress: Sincere in Helping Small Clean Tech Businesses?
| August 30, 2010 | Posted by Craig Shields under Electric Vehicles |
A friend of mine who is trying to raise public or private money for his extremely well-conceived electric vehicle start-up just wrote to me with words that ring true:
[We’ll be attending the] upcoming Annual Congressional Business Summit, and this is a point of focus for me right now. I don’t know what they will do, other than to hear them say, “Wow what a neat idea.” I guess I shouldn’t be a cynic, but the last 14 months have opened my eyes as to the two-facedness of Congress. They like to talk about how small business is the source of 80% of the new jobs, and then promptly deliver money to the large corporations that spend most of their time trying to make sure small businesses evaporate. Millions in campaign support and a veritable army of lobbyists seems to be working just fine.
