Think Global EV to Close
Electric car company filing for bankruptcy
The electric car maker that launched its North American operations in northern Indiana has filed for bankruptcy protection in Norway, a major creditor said Wednesday morning.
Think Global AS plans to liquidate its assets, according to a statement from its exclusive battery supplier, Ener1 Inc.
Not that long ago, President Obama visited the plant which was opening in Elkhart IN to produce the Think EV electric vehicle. I wonder how much “stimulus” money this venture received. At the time this was announced, Elkhart had the highest unemployment rate in the nation, after having the lowest rate before the crash in 2008.
Initial production plans called for a modest 2400 units per year.

Police Illegally Trespass and Arrest Woman in Her Front Lawn for Recording Traffic Stop: An Eyewitness Report
A woman in Rochester, NY video-tapes a routine traffic stop occurring in front of her own house. She noticed that the police had the driver in handcuffs.
One officer insists that the woman go back into her house, claims she made him “uncomfortable”. She says she is in her own front yard, she needs some fresh air. When all is said and done, the driver of the car who was initially stopped was released, and the lady who was recording it all went to jail.
The Courts have already established that there is no presumption of privacy on a public street, so I guess making a cop uncomfortable (by video-taping his actions?) must be against some law in Rochester?
RIP, Clarence Clemons
