Hopefully, GE already has its own fire department.

I going to guess at least 50% of the sales are from GE based on previous Volt sales before GE started buying them.

LOL. So the genuine sales numbers for the Dolt are even worse than the pathetic level GM is peddling. That’s great.

So let me see if I got this right, GE didn’t pay a penny in Fed tax last year. Now they are licking Bambi’s rear by buying 12,000 Dolts to the tune of $9,000,000 in taxpayer funded rebates.

Disgusting

No surprise, we all knew this was a done deal some time ago.

I have an old 2008 NATIONAL WILDLIFE magazine with an interview with Obama. In it he says he hopes to have ONE MILLION plug in hybrids getting 150 mpg on the road by 2015.

And he wants 2 BILLION GALLONS of “celulosic” biofuels on the market by 2013.

Is he on schedule?

...ANOTHER ARTICLE...

The memo, sent to employees of GE Healthcare Americas team explains that all sedan, crossover, and minivan purchases in 2012 will be replaced by the Chevy Volt. Only field engineers are exempt from having to drive a company Volt.

GE will offer estimates for installation Level 2 Charging Stations, though all-gas use will be allowed when there is no electric option. Any employees who opt out of the Volt program will not be compensated for their expenses. Those who do choose to drive the Volt will be reimbursed for public charging and home charging costs, in addition to gas uses.

The story has been updated.

It now says that only 5% of the record sales were fleet purchases, and GE did not have any influence on the numbers.
