Here's another bit of irony.....CO2 is green, literally!I guess I don't need to take you all back to your elementary science classes, but suffice it to say increased CO2 levels in that lower 30 feet of atmosphere promotes accelerated plant growth.  Plants are "green", right?So if we are taking steps to reduce smokestack and tailpipe CO2 emissions, we may claim we're being green, but we're actually being anti-green!Hey, I told you there's a big BIG disconnect between the environmental movement and the actual environment!Oh well, back to GM.  I'm not suprised, given that most of the US auto industry is in it's death throes, all self inflicted.  Let's take a look at this position as it relates to the desire to return GM to profitability....<ol><li>GM and the others have higher labor costs than the non-US automakers (counting the legacy costs)</li><li>GM et al needs to have higher margins on it's vehicles to overcome these higher labor costs</li><li>Large vehicles traditionally have higher mark-up, smaller vehicles traditionally have lower mark-uo</li><li>Thus, for GM et al to keep their collective heads above water, they need to sell mostly large vehicles or face extinction</li><li>Yet, here they are basically signing their own death warrant by joining forces with the Hate America/Global Warming Fraudmongers and promoting "greenhouse gas reductions", which is of course code for voluntarily foregoing larger vehicles in deference to smaller vehicles.</li></ol>There's only one possible way out for GM if they insist on maintaining this absurd course, and that is to have the taxpayers bail them out by taking over the pension funds.  My bet is that this anticipation is their bet. PS - I wonder if Soylent Green would make a good alternative fuel?[xx(]
