@AN: That makes sense. But shouldn’t we also be taking the economies of scale into account here? What private company would even come close to an order the size of the federal government’s? Could $300 million be enough to kick-start the fall of prices for hybrids? Or is $300 mil not enough? What if the order was for the originally proposed $600 mil? Would that drive down prices for the rest of us?
I am not an economist, just trying to figure all of this out while sipping tea in my armchair.
