Government Approves $25B Low Cost Loan Package for Auto Industry [View article]
Alright you Detroit apologists, let me ask you this.
If our domestic automakers are trying so hard, why don't they -
1. Import the 40+ mpg cars they build that are selling well in Europe and elsewhere? They don't need $25 billion to do that, just some cargo ships (which I suspect are readily available right now real cheap.)
2. Start building the NGV's again (they sell them in Canada and other countries) that Boone Pickens is spending $60 million to advertise for them. They'll sell more of them than Volts, and make more money doing it.
3. Send each dealer who wants one a dual-fueled NGV, and help them set up a CNG refueling depot at their dealership.
And for Christ's sake, do SOMETHING besides go crying to Washington. In their current state of affairs, the Congress could send them the $700 billion they want to spend on the bank bailout, and it would only STILL only be a matter of time until they ended up in bankruptcy.
