No I did not miss this one.
Unfortunately my comment got aten up somewhere in cyberspace as I don’t see it here posted.
But obviously GM’s commitment to biofuels, the ethanol revolution and cellulose ethanol is welcome news.
GM with this 24 minute clip and it’s assemblance of powerful people like Mr. Kosla, and a raft of tomorrow’s technology - GM has done more for America’s energy diversification, energy independence and environmental concerns, and the world’s need for more energy. GM has done more here in this clip than all the thousands of wrangling politicians did passing an obsolete and antiquated fuel standard with all the standard pork of a Kansas City outdoor barbecue.
I think the things going on here and the events surrounding the auto show and electronics show does more for America’s fuel needs than all the policies and programs Washington can muster.
Even if they get something right like ethanol they drop the ball on fueling stations and fail to hold ExxonMobil to task to do their share with, What? their 100,000 fueling stations.
But I don’t think we need government, we only need them to stay out of the way because what GM is discovering with technologies like Coskata’s is truly amazing.
So we don’t need a sledge hammer to kill a fly but we are making strides.
There is no need to be pessimistic or negative but if we execute all these things on the table the only guarantee tomorrow is change. Not even oil is safe in tomorrow’s economy and I think they know it.
But the bottom line is.
We secure GM’s future (listen closely here)
We secure GM’s future tomorrow by running like he** today.

we land men on the moon .we need general motors to lead the world in the first 80 mpg for the american public and with help from agriculture we put the payment in kind write-off to bed with ethanol and bio diesel research.american greed stands behind not winning the energy war and we better wake up or well fall to a second tier nation .

Why not develop a mass system to revamp old gasoline cars to use hydrogen or flex cars? I notice many small entrepreneurs that say they can sell kits to retrofit cars to use hydrogen. Even if these represent imperfect technology, GM surely surely perfect this technology in less than a year.

Edwin if that is true, then why doesn’t GM shoot for a perpetual motion machine. lol… lets say they put wind generators the size of headlights with the looks/functionality of jet engines, which powers a matrix of batteries, which converts the (tap water) fuel tank into HHO gas, which the car is outfitted with a diesel engine that can run off the gas. oh yea… it has a solar panel roof for kicks. a nice quick fix before we find out how to use super conductors in automobiles. hmmm… i think all that can be done within a year… lol, woops, its already done… look for it on one of those silly pop culture sites. too much dependency on oil if you ask me.
