When the economy reheats, we are going to need more fuel efficient vehicles to keep demand from skyrocketing. <br /><br />The (new and not implemented) CAFE standards didn't kill GM. The foreign competitors raising their own CAFE standards were making fuel efficient cars were already eroding GM market. GM was over producing crappy cars and encouraging people to get a new one every few years. This was unsustainable.<br /><br />The real solution for GM is to do what they did for WWII when they switched from cars to planes in a few months. At SOME of their factories, they need to build something else: solar panels, wind turbines, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
