That whole thing was never important to me. A total red herring, I
thought.

The important thing to me was that Think Global reportedly got the
full financing it needed to stay in business and (I'm guessing) in
theory it is enough for them to move toward producing the cars they
are allegedly going to build for various European areas.

As to the US, I think in the past it could have been argued that they
have absolutely no business going on about building a plant here,
considering that they never did a proper job of making use of whatever
manufacturing capabilities they allegedly put into place in Norway.

The only thing that somewhat sways my view on this is that the recent
offering of US Taxpayer funding and such has been seemingly so over
the top that I'm not sure I can blame any company for going after it.
