General Motors - and the "Volt"
Technology makes huge jumps at times, so I guess we'll have to wait and see...
In his Wall Street Journal, Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. wonders:
"America's biggest near-dead car company called in reporters this month to boast – boast! – about its willingness to lose money on its forthcoming electric car. That includes betting the farm on whether batteries can be developed with the necessary power-to-weight ratio and life expectancy to give the car its needed usability. 'Whatever it takes to do, we will do' to deliver the plug-in Volt by a 2010 deadline, project leader Frank Weber told journalists."
