    This is something that everyone's doing it seems. It makes perfect since. To remain competitive you have to keep reducing your costs. Being more energy efficient, recycling waste, and generating power from landfill methane are good ideas whether there's climate change or not.

    Actually, GM has some of the cleanest manufacturing plants around... so, yeah.

    They may achieve their 40% reduction of CO2 by cutting back production 40% in the US.

    :lol: You might not be off that much, especially considering gas prices in 2010 might be $5/gal. That means a lot of SUV not produced, which might equal 40%.

    Good to know. Let us know when they've cut 40% off like they said.

    Sure they're cutting CO2. And the King of Liars-Lutz will cut CO2 down 100% shortly after that ... as he drives poor GM entirely out of business.
