It's ours to begin with. The Big Three are helping China in its great technological leapfrog forward when it comes to automotive technology.Howard Lovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04901713018468508005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331358152894046568.post-80270801680202376722009-01-17T18:09:00.000-08:002009-01-17T18:09:00.000-08:00All well and good that GM is pushing to get the Vo...All well and good that GM is pushing to get the Volt to market but they should not be forgiven for killing the very much superior EV-1 in favor of monstrosities like the Hummer.<BR/><BR/>Non-petroleum based motor vehicle power has been fought by both the oil industry and the auto industry for years.
