While it’s not flyin cars, it appears General Motors is movin in the right direction for innovation (kinda). GM invested $25 million into the Global Battery Systems Lab. Here they plan to develop and test the drivetrains for the Chevrolet Volt and other hybrids both battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Like I said, it’s not flyin cars but I can clearly see the government giving a “green” incentive later on for purchasing these kinds of cars. I know there are already rebates for fuel efficient and environmentally friendly cars but those were created by oil barons running the White House. I think Obama will create new programs that will really reward people for thinkin green. GM is also workin with the University of Michigan to create a battery-engineering curriculum. So not only is GM employing more engineers but they are takin steps to creatin more engineers too. I don’t know about you but I’m startin to feel good about GM’s future. I still shoulda sold my stock and bought it back at a lower price. Oh well, live and you learn.
