I basically agree with you. Regarding the electric car, it is not necessarily 
the government taxing the sun, as it is the car company's investments in the 
oil companies. Now that Detroit has flooded the market with gas guzzling 
SUV's, and basically done away with the gas saving economy cars, it is time 
to get the public interested in buying small "fuel efficient" cars again. In 
other words, a whole new line of automobiles consumers just have to have. 

Regarding Steinway. There is nothing wrong with a Steinway. But when a piano 
company advertises that investing in one of their pianos is better than 
investing in the stock market, you have to wonder about the ethics of the 
company.
