In February, the Obama administration announced its so-called Clean Energy Investment Initiative, a program that was seeking to generate $2 billion in commitments from the private sector to help spur clean energy innovation.
Just four months later, it seems, investors have willingly answered the call twice over amid rebounding interest in renewable energy.
The Obama administration said today that a collection of philanthropic groups, universities, and for-profit institutions have committed $4 billion to invest in clean energy. These are investments that might not fit in the average investor's portfolio. Instead, the money will fund things like solar, wind, and fuel cell technology, the type of potentially transformative innovation that all too often never sees the light of day because funding dries up.

"without the obnoxious roar of an ICE. "
I love the 'obnoxious ROAR' my 'vette makes.
Not to mention its 0-60 time is 5.1 seconds, whereas the BMW (Break My Wallet) i3 EV's time is 6.8 seconds.
Sure, the top end Teslas will do sub 5 seconds as will the top tier Beemers, (as will any top tier ICE sportscar) but on the average they are no faster than a fun ICE car.
Leaving a powerful car at the redlight means nothing, as most of us are better drivers than that and don't street race, (utter stupidity) of course, you want to come out on track day, that's a different story.
Jackrabbit starts are fun though, but never confuse that with actual racing.
