Did you happen to catch the recent Frontline? Called"Heat" i think. talked about global warming but was mostly about how the US(and world) economies are stuck on coal, gas guzzlers, etc. very good, ino.

They were interviewing a lady VP from GM(I think). One topic was why they are staring from scratch with the Volt when they had an electric car that worked a decade ago and was scrapped. She literally could not answer the question. They pointed out that GM is getting a $1bil gift from the US gov't to develop an electric car.

They tried to film a test drive of the Volt. It couldn't go up a 5 degree hill then just died. The GM rep told them to speed up the film so it would look like it made normal speed.

I don't think it would be wise to have my son go into the US automotive industry as a career.
