GE To Buy 25,000 Chevy Volts
I kinda think they would be better off waiting, but they've made plenty of bad decisions before.. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUST...2?feedType=RSS

As far as the Electric Fleet, if they can't sell their chargers to anyone else, at least they can sell them to themselves.

It looks like the price is going to be a little over 40 Grand. I can guaran-damn-tee ya that GE won't be paying anything close to that.

No doubt GE will cut a deal, write them off of their taxes, and wind up not getting stung too bad.
So who takes it up the wazoo?
Us stupid taxpayers, who are subsiding both GM for producing this POS and GE for buying it.
You can buy a far better vehicle for far less money. Paint it green, put a smiley face on both doors, and it's still a POS.
And we'll still be picking up the tab for absolute stupidity.
IMHO,
Chas

Tank you, tank you!!!
Even I, now and then, have what alcoholics call a "moment of clarity".
But they are becoming fewer and farther apart, due to the fact that I no longer have the stamina to drink myself sober.
BTW, it's once again Beer Season in Missouri. My old buddies 11 yr old grandson shot his first deer today. And another old friend, the "General" (for real) son shot two, at the tender age of 15.
Among the other celebrations taking place, a half a jug of Buelleit pretty much evaporated in about five minutes.
And I scored a couple of bucks at the gaming table.
