Hey, Rick Wagoner — deeds, not words on green cars

The GM CEO says the automotive future is electric and green.

Really? Why don’t you bring out a $25,000-$30,000 gas-electric hybrid, or diesel-electric hybrid, that can help the environment NOW, rather than E85/flexfuel cars dependent on currently enivironmentally-ravaging, energy-poor, corn-based ethanol, or totally infrastructurally unfeasible (and expensive as hell to boot) hydrogen cars like your new Cadillac Provoq.

I mean, the U.S. car industry is among the biggest of liars among major U.S. industries. At times, I think only Big Oil and Big Pharma are worse.
