GM Chevy Volt Halt Confirms Green Energy Policy Failure
Made popular 441 days ago in Business
nlpc.org — I hate to beat a dead Edsel, but the Chevy Volt story is just too important to let slip away. After last week's announcement by General Motors that it would be temporarily halting production of the Chevy Volt due to low demand, you would think that the evidence would finally be conclusive that the over-hyped, over-subsidized vehicle is a flop. The response by GM and lack of same from the Obama-loving media is worthy of continued criticism from those of us who have recognized that taxpayers have been bilked out of billions of dollars to produce a car that does practically nothing for the environment or foreign oil dependence while being unwanted by the 99% of consumers that can not afford, nor want the car. In fact, most 1 percenters don't want the car either.

Americans should closely follow the Chevy Volt saga, as it epitomizes the crony capitalism, deception and taxpayer abuse underlying the Obama Administration's green energy policy. And while far more money has been thrown down the drain producing and subsidizing the Volt compared to Solyndra, the mainstream media has either given a positive spin to the story or laid off the story completely.

Let's again review the history of the Volt. The car was initially hyped as GM was making a case to get billions of dollars in bailout aid from the government. When Obama's Auto Task Force (which was put in charge of redistributing wealth from GM bondholders and taxpayers to UAW members) was analyzing GM's business plans, they even test drove the vehicle, which was supposedly to be a "game changer" for the company as well as a savior for the environment and foreign oil dependence.
