What does the GM Bankruptcy mean for green cars and the environment. Will GM focus on more efficient vehicles now? Or will the financial troubles bring the axe down on their most progressive programs?

  • I just wanted to take the time to thank you.  Because of this YouTube account, I know much more about green cars than I ever would have otherwise. Great job explaining everything and keep up the good work!

  • @MountAthos With today's gas prices (that will only continue to rise into the future) fuel efficiency is a major factor in the mind of any intelligent car buyer..

  • Joe Biden claimed that the $862 Billion failed stimulus ($400 remains unspent) “created or saved” 750,000 jobs. Economists don’t recognize jobs saved, and the jobs saved may have been keep local agencies afloat. When the money ran out, the people lost their jobs. Currently States are considering filing bankruptcy for spending. watch?v=IqmeT5ykKf0

    The Govt owns 61% of GM, GOOGLE, “GM's electric-car fantasy running out of gas” and read links. The Green Movement should be free market driven

  • Awesome footage. I got some good information on this from fasteconomicalcars (.) com

  • This video is pretty interesting, does that make me a nerd? We might be able to work together. I help people who have file bankruptcies get a cash settlement

  • haha i feel that people should know that i love the volt so much that i involuntarily made the WOOT motion with my arm when i saw it... yes

  • it means shit cars, like skodas in the soviet union.  Socialism doesn't work

  • it's not bad but missing a vital point that voids it all. a plugin hybrid is not substantially more expensive than a prius to make. they both have overweight steel bodies, both have combustion engines and the plugin can even have a much smaller engine, both have two electric motor/generators, both have a battery pack. both have governinging electronics. the only difference is that the plugin needs 20+ mile pack. let's say 30mile range in a 6000$ pack. 40k$ is lie. all their cars should be plugin

  • I see your point. Nissan has come out with the Pivo and Pivo2. They are doubtlessly one the biggest "think different" banners ever, but i think it's just a step too far. Nobody want's to make every car on the road really wierd looking.

  • Can you take a breath between sentences? Lol, it'd be a little easier to understand you. Good videos though.

  • GM says their new focus is on fuel effecient cars.

    If GM wants to get out of bankruptcy, shouldn't their focus be on building cars customers want to buy?

    I'm sure there is a market for fuel efficient cars, but that shouldn't be their only or primary focus.
