Certainly not a very intelligent analysis, however, the Muir post on afoe is confusing because it has so little reference to the actual bill or the political context.

The aim is similar: to build fast cars that can cover long distances and become commercially viable. Industry analysts predict that we're almost halfway from the first race of university students and inventors to the new Formula 1 (maybe Formula 0?) when the teams will represent leading manufacturers or component-makers of a new industry. &nbsp;]]></summary>
