re: the hummer GM link, go DL “who killed the electric car” amazing film. we just saw it the other night. i’m still pissed. essentially, GM killed their electric car (the EV1) to promote the hummer, gas was $40/barrel. 3 years later gas is $100/barrel. GM didn’t shoot themselves in the leg, they nuked their leg. they deserve to EPIC FAIL.
We saw it !! — Johan and I were talking about it on the way home Sunday. Hopefully all the greediness gets it ‘just end’ — but seems that’s a rarity these days.
