I also believe environmentalists predicting "global catastrophe" aided in the demise of GM. While it is indesputible that man has an effect on the environment, the real question is how much of an effect. If it would have such a catastrophic effect, we'would have already seen major changes. We know the earth's climate has changed much more radically without man's presence in the past, but I think many environmentalists have played the global warming fear card to the point of numbness. People are so scared to buy gas guzzlers and auto makers have such strict emmission standards, its impossible for them to continue to make money they way they had done traditionally. As with every business however, GM must change with the times or fall by the wayside. I do like his high speed and light train concepts, as long as it is done privately as it is in Japan. The last thing the government needs to be doing is spending(borrowing) billions on something else. I disagree as well with point 9 Bill.
