Hypocrisy alert – GM and hybrids

Oh, because of all of its foot-dragging, or knuckle-dragging, on hybrid autos, I’ll bet you didn’t know that GM has been building hybrid buses for several years. (Note the 2004-05 date on the banner of the webpage.)

In fact, a lot of people don’t know that about GM, even though a Google search for “GM” + “hybrid bus” yields 33,000 hits. Or that it has built more than 1,000 hybrid buses.

But, GM can’t won’t build a hybrid car. It will grudgingly build a hybrid-lite SUV, but that’s it.

However, GM is perfectly OK with using its semi-hybrid SUVs as greenwash.
