Green the Big Three

November 18, 12:15 AM
 
What to do with top US auto manufactures GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler? Force them to do what they have failed to do for the past 40 years – innovate.

If the U.S. is as dependant on the auto manufacturing as everyone is telling the President-elect, then by all means, let’s keep them around. But why not use this opportunity to usher in real change?

Fuel cell vehicles have finally reached consumers, with Honda’s limited test run in California. A full-fledge effort to produce not just one but a whole fleet of alternative fuel and hyper-efficient vehicles could be the tipping point toward a whole new paradigm. A big step toward energy independence.

The workforce is there, the tools are in hand – perhaps all that is needed is a little shove. Meanwhile the Big Three are looking for a major boost. Give them the money to be used to make alternative fuel vehicles.

Don’t throw away this opportunity. Make the U.S. a global leader in the next generation of transportation.
