Innovators should swarm like locusts on Washington in January, February and March to show the Car Czar how to make fuel-efficient cars.
The only other time the industry has seen a 3-million (or more) unit plunge was following the 1974 oil shortage.
Monday brought three conference calls, each about an hour, with executives from each of the Detroit Three announcing, dissecting and, most of all, spi...
Andy can't believe that shoe almost hit Rick Warren. Andy doesn't think Caroline Kennedy is qualified to replace Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense, but doesn't blame her for asking.
GM is selling off, one-by-one, piece-by-piece, memory-by-memory, the GM Heritage Collection. Finding out felt like I'd taken a punch to the gut.

The Big 3 are looking for a bailout. They should only get it if they agree to stop building autos that contribute to global warming now.

I talked to someone who told me that during and shortly after World War II, there were thousands of all-electric delivery vehicles in Manhattan. They just put a bunch of lead-acid batteries in the delivery vans, and off they went.
