While GM did just receive money from the Federal Government, it begs the question: Why is GM receiving Federal bailout monies "delaying" the $370 million Flint, Michigan plant to build the engine for the Volt and the 2010 Chevrolet Cruze 40 mpg automobile? Why Did It Have To Happen This Way? 2) Electric cars cost pennies to charge.

His people at MidAmerican have studied clean technologies like batteries and wind power for years because of the threat of climate change. They generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than cars that burn gasoline, and they have lower fuel costs, even when oil is cheap. Electric cars will be one answer. More Out of work 6 months.
