If we jump into the way-back machine and go all the way back to the gas shortages in the 70's and see what the big three learned from the times. I as an American went out and test drove the GM response - the POS chevette.
The next day I bought a Toyota. Mother Earth New magazine at the time was featuring articles on people experimenting with alternative fuels and home built electric cars, but the big three wasn't interested in the future, only the present. It is that sort of greed and stupidity that has brought us to todays events. If you reward bad decisions and finance failure, that is what you will continue to get. It makes as much sense as the government buying us all a new corvette in order to keep the auto workers employed. Let Capitalism work or get rid of it.
Best Wishes
