Little late but I've been busy.

Wind farms sure do make a lot of sence. Germany has the lagerst production capacity in wind energy and has yet to close a coal fired plant. Why you ask? In the last five years they have managed to produce at best 20% of their capacity. And they have to maintain 100% of that wind capacity in backup power because 20% of the time they had 0% production from the wind turbines. And what production they did have they had to have the same amount in conventional power idiling in case the wind quit altogether.

Great energy produceres those wind turbines.

No, not necessarily his DOT but definitely his Car Czar. I doubt that Hitler cared about the design, but knew that the Corporations could make a RM. But O could care less about GM making a profit as long as the Union is helped out of losing control of the Auto Indusrty and He can push his green electric car.

And yes he does exert control over the desgn. He brought back a design the old GM abandoned as a dead end in what 2002

Sorry this is late, but I've been busy. Just an excert from wikipedia but I think it makes a good point.

"In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a Volkswagen (literally, "people's car" in German, pronounced [ˈfɔlksvaːɡən]). The epithet Volks- literally, "people's-" had been previously applied to other Nazi sponsored consumer goods such as the Volksempfänger ("people's radio"). Hitler required a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph). The "People's Car" would be available to citizens of the Third Reich through a savings scheme, or Sparkarte (savings booklet), at 990 Reichsmark, about the price of a small motorcycle (an average income being around 32RM a week)."

I don't think that he(Hitler) exerted much control over the design or technical specifications of the car. In Germany the government didn't own the corporations but the corporations and the government worked in collusion to control the government and the people.

A little late but I've been busy. Vin #'s reflect production not sales. And one produced last week can be sold and delivered the day of delivery to the dealer.

Just a simple question? Was the zil produce by govt motors in Russia a success and was the ugo, produced by government motors in Yugoslavia a success. Has there ever been a successful car produced by any governent motors?

Interesting point Rick, and the first electric car produced got 40 mi per charge. Just about where they are now. That's real progress for the progressives.

Outdated? Think not, Wind power has been around for thousands of years, Solar has heated us longer. Why has Solar and wind been replaced by oil? Because the sun don't shine at night and on a cold overcast winter day. And believe it or not the wind don't blow all the time everywhere. The cheepest and most reliable energy supply is actually coal, oil and gas. Find or invent something cheeper or more reliable and you will have no problem replacing them. Otherwise STFU. Everything pollutes or pollutes in its manufacture.

The volt was a concept that GM tried and abandoned. All cars produced were recalled and crushed, because GM knew that the electric car was a dead end. When the government bought GM they resurrected the concept. And proved that GM was right 5 years before. Just like Solyndra was a bad investment.

Bill Press does epitomize the stupidity of the liberal mentality.

Finally a non-socialist Jewish voice.
