If the president can do that, we might as well all move to Cuba where the dictator makes every industrial decision by this personal whim.
I think a lot of FReepers are going to be rather disappointed at how many of the green fantasies keep rolling along fueled by taxpayer dollars.
Obama’s car czar fast-tracked the Volt and sidelined the small V-8 Duramax Clean Diesel engine for the pick=up truck line.
Given how much GM owes to the Government and how Obama set the Czar precedent, I have no doubt that a Romney White House could reach into GM and rearrange their priorities.
Also, there is a lot of talk that GM will need a restructuring to survive long-term. The terms and conditions of the Government’s ownership will be on the table. That is another opportunity for Romney to influence spending money on premature projects.
Then you're four years late in moving. 0 did that when he pushed the "green energy" BS with taxpayer dollars in the first place. 0 and his fellow "progressives" love Cuba and want the US to be an economic powerhouse just like it.
I expect him to sell GM off to the highest bidder, which will likely be Chinese or Korean. Then he will roll back CAFE standards. Between the two, GM’s new overlords will drop the Volt like a hot rock.
