So what about the guy with the sub compact that has a 80 mile work commute? not everyone drives H3s dude... get a grip.

While i agree 10,000% that we need to move to new sources for energy... I dont think systematically dismantling the oil industry in a matter of months is the answer.


i said it a million times if i have said it once.

B.O. should have let the dinosaur GM sink - and should have instead invested that bailout money into an automobile company like "Aptera"

then, after production numbers could reasonably be expected to meet demand... he could have implemented the "Cash for clunkers" program as an incentive for vehicle owners to purchase more "green" cars which would be either hybrid or fully electric.

another one of those pure platinum opportunities the man missed
