The self-righteous Right won’t touch this news. If every Chevrolet Volt built over the next year were recalled four times for risk of catching fire, the number wouldn’t approach the magnitude of the safety risks involving these popular vehicles. But, they run on gas, see?
In fairness, of the total vehicle population, the percentage that will burn is infinitesimal, and anything manmade that involves fuel and electricity, including houses, shares that risk.
All the more shameful that the media, the extreme-right “talking head” gas-bags at the forefront, chose one extreme-case electric vehicle fire for the basest, crassest, politically motivated propaganda assault.
Reduced demand for the Volt and lower production will likely be the sad results. American workers in Michigan will be the victims. Are you “proud Americans” yet, Rush, Lou, Bill and others of your ilk? |
