I've been thinking and trying to connect some dots regarding, China, cars, solar power and other things.
Remember when the whole dirty Harry Reid thing was going on? How he had deals working with a Chinese company for a solar farm?
Elon Musk keeps coming up and did some digging. His two cousins started SolarCity which he then acquired.
You have the whole Solyndra thing.
Musk wants to build solar cars among other things.
Enter GM, who builds cars and doesn't want to do it here for some reason.
SolarCity gets funding from google or has in the past and other banks.
SolarCity partners with banks, large corporations, and the asset-backed[95] market to create project finance funds to finance its lease and PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) options. SolarCity's financing partners have included Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Citi, Morgan Stanley, National Bank of Arizona and U.S. Bancorp, among others.[96][full citation needed] Among SolarCity's better-known financing partnerships was a $280 million fund created with Google to finance residential solar installations in June 2011. The Google Fund was the largest fund of its kind in the U.S., and Google's largest investment in clean energy.[97]
What I seem to see is someone trying to move the country/world in the direction of solar powered cars and solar power in general, while at the same time trying to gain control of the infrastructure to manufacture, distribute and sell all things related. A monopoly on solar power. Think of new tech and people like Edison. Think of Nicola Tesla and how JP Morgan pulled his funding when he learned Tesla wanted to make the transmission of energy free.
I am not sure any of this is worth digging any more into, it's just my thoughts, but it does seem strange to me, that much of this stuff centers around solar power, cars and the Chinese and electronics in general.
