Well, our Socialist overlords have apparently taken this to heart and have loaned Fisker $528M to help finance the building of a plug-in hybrid sedan.

The California startup said most of the $528.7 million low-interest loan will help finance project Nina, a four-door, five-passenger mid-size plug-in hybrid that will build on the technology underpinning the gas-electric Karma. Whereas the Karma (pictured above) will start at $87,900 when it goes on sale next year, the Nina is expected to cost $39,900 after the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs and plug-in hybrids.

This follows the August DOE loan of $465m to Tesla motors which announced that same month that it is finally turning a profit. All of this of course, dwarfs the several billion dollars that has been doled out to the Detroit Dinosaurs.
