1. Kill the development of the Chevy Volt. This is the electric vehicle that is nearing the completion of the development cycle.
2. The production and sale of Trucks and SUV's must be reduced.
3. Raise the fuel economy of remaining vehicles.
OK now. Raising fuel standards is a good idea, no question about it. Last I checked an electric vehicle reduces dependence on oil. Yet, the geniuses in DC want the Volt eliminated. Maybe Mr. Obama wants to send stimulus $$ to Tesla in California for the scale up of that company.
For those unaware, Tesla has in production a terrific electric vehicle. Currently, a 2 seat sports car is produced with a sedan coming soon. Problem for the mainstream is the price which exceeds $75,000. So, the President can send our $$ to Tesla as a stimulus (read subsidy) while providing California additional tax $$. After all, the Left coast must be holding a bunch of IOU's for the campaign contributions funneled into the election of Obama.
Finally, in helping GM get straightened out Mr. Obama is asking that 11 of the 20 profitable vehicles currently in production be scaled back or eliminated. That's right - the Trucks and SUV's.
I don't make it up. Just passing it along.
