DoE Approves Ford, Tesla, Nissan for Low-Interest Loan

The U.S. Department of Energy, under its Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Incentive Program (a $25 billion program), announced yesterday that Ford would be one of the many companies being granted a low-interest loan. Ford, who had applied for $11 billion, has been granted $5.9 billion in financing and is planning to use these funds to retool its U.S. plants to produce fuel-efficient vehicles and to meet new fuel economy deadlines, among other things.
The DoE has also approved Tesla Motors for the loan and has granted it $465 million which it will use for a powertrain manufacturing plant and for the production engineering and assembly of its all-electric family sedan, the Model S. Tesla states that their partnership with the DoE is to “accelerate the production of affordable, fuel-efficient electric vehicles”. While Ford and Tesla have already been approved for the loan, Nissan has announced that they have been conditionally approved by the DoE for a loan of $1.6 billion to modify its Smyrna, Tennessee manufacturing plant to produce zero-emissions vehicles.

I remeber my first car which I sold for the cheapest price since I needed cash right away. Payday lending gets a bad rap. Essentially the argument is that lenders open up a shop in poor areas to prey upon the desperate, but when payday lending as an industry is studied, that isn't the universal case, at all. Think about it this way: payday lenders and pawn shops tend to be located in areas where inhabitants have typically lower credit scores and less access to credit, which is true according to a study by the Federal Reserve, headed by Robin Prager, which is to say that – and listen to this one closely – SUPPLY HAS FOLLOWED DEMAND. Perhaps instead of railing at payday lenders and payday loans, you might try coming up with a solution to poverty you cads.
