Jerry Flint counts the votes in the midwest and concludes the Federal Government will keep GM alive, Chrysler, I don't know, perhaps. Flint also had a good column on electric cars.
the problem with electric cars is that they take too long to recharge, the batteries are too expensive, and one hauls around a very heavy battery. This works for an oil pumping unit where the motor weight is no problem and the electric line means no need to re charge. This does not work for a car which can be re charged in minutes, with gasoline.
Note, the new Forbes.com page easily wins my vote for the most irritating web page in history, One cannot or at least I could not shut off the audio for the video, worse then a commercial begins speaking so two people are speaking at the same time while I am trying to read Jerry Flint. I stopped subscribing to Forbes several years back, I am glad I did. This is NOT the way to draw people to a website, at least not this person.
