G.M. "can not make money even with    great ideas and huge handouts..."
    While VW and Toyota have    made gross margins on the greenest cars in the world G.M. has stated the      Chevy Volt will cost GM $750 milllion...
       Stating that: it's really expensive to develop a hybrid, electric car or    extended-range electric car.  
    But what the U.S. has to    understand is that American tax dollars have "already given billions" of    'green' dollars to the U.S. auto industry over the last three decades in the    form of grants and incentives to 'develop hybrid, electric, hydrogen    or extended-range cars.'
       Then what did we give VW and Toyota to actually make    money doing it?    A market.
    Why you consider giving    billions more until you can see a future of even slight 'green' progress in    this industry?   
    Seriously three decades,    billions in research, where's the progress... where?
