Yeah getting the ball rolling on the taxpayer dime is working out so well. I'm sure you support the solyndra and the rest of the green boondoggles too.

Sorry, I didn't know you opposed tax cuts/credits.

The ball of hybrid cars is already rolling, and started in Europe and Japan, so you can relax a little. If I remember correctly you and your friend Roy made every argument imaginable to support the auto bailouts when Bush was doing it. It was done, started by Bush and continued by Obama, and millions of jobs were saved (like it or not). Personally I opposed them from day 1, but I don't cry about past events which no one can change.

Your good at recalling incorrect things. If you can provide some evidence of your statement it would be appreciated. Until then I suggest you stop making up accusations you can't back up. Millions of jobs saved? The first thing the did was lay off thousands. LOL

Well Europe is feeling the pinch of their global warming subsidized insanity right now. I hope the ball doesn't continue to roll acorss the pond like this administration wants it to. Learn from others mistakes don't repeat them.

You're, not your. As for your request for some evidence of your statement, please feel free to man up and give evidence of your claim that Volts are catching fire in people's garages.

The pinch that Europe is feeling has next to nothing to do with their global warming policies. I take it you know as little about that as you do about the automobile industry.

Are the Volts mainly being made for GE? I read that they bought / committed to buy some 20,000, 30,000, and some reports up to 50,000 from GM. Without GE is there a market for Volts?

Page 2. Current GE Chairman is Presidents 'Jobs Czar'.

Page 3. As long as Page 2 is true than Volt is a viable product. Fire or not.

These people are truly insane and trying to pretend this flammable tin can is in demand, when in fact the few thousand that have been made are sitting on showroom floors at dealerships.

The demand is artificial if a tax rebate has to be offered in order to sell them.
