| DETROIT, - U.S. automaker General Motors put an in-house directive in reverse Thursday, backing away from a memo that asked employees to stop saying "Chevy." The original memo signed by Alan Batey, vice president for Chevrolet sales and service, and Jim Campbell, GM vice president for marketing told employees at the corporation's Detroit headquarters "consistency" is important for the Chevrolet brand -- and it would be helpful in that regard to stop referring to Chevrolets at Chevys, The New York Times reported. The memo said, "In global markets, we are establishing a significant presence for Chevrolet , and need to... |

Will Electric Cars Crash The Grid?

| Conservation: The Chevy Volt is said to be able to get 230 miles per gallon. That's if it's continually plugged into a fragile and overburdened power grid. Where will you be when the lights go out? Since most U.S. electricity generation is not carbon-free, the Congressional Research Service agrees. The "widespread adoption of plug-in hybrid vehicles through 2030 may have only a small effect on, and might actually increase, carbon emissions," it observes. "If you are using coal-fired power plants and half the country's electricity comes from coal powered plants, are you just trading one greenhouse gas emitter for another?"... |

No American Dream at General Motors

| In its filing in the Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Second District of New York, GM claimed assets of about 83 billion dollars, which is quite impressive. Impressive, that is, until one looks at its debts, which currently total nearly 173 billion dollars. It is drowning, quite frankly, in a sea of bad debt, bad management decisions, and sweetheart labor contracts given to a union (the UAW) that long ago lost its way, and which has proved famously bullheaded in recent years, conducting a strike against General Motors on a company-wide basis as recently as 2007. Looking back now, we... |
U.S. Likely Taking Majority Ownership of GM (taxpayers to own a worthless US carmaker)

| In the end, General Motors' massive cash needs likely trumped any chance of the automaker avoiding a bankruptcy court-supervised reorganization. General Motors Corp. is expected to announce early Wednesday that only a small fraction of the holders of its $27 billion in bonds agreed to swap that unsecured debt for a 10 percent equity share of a recapitalized GM. Reaching such an agreement was one of the requirements of the Obama administration, which already has committed $19.4 billion in aid and said it would only provide more funds if bondholders and unionized workers made concessions that substantially reduced GM's costs.... |
