ParticipantThrow China into the mix:
TIANJIN, China — Chinese leaders have adopted a plan aimed at turning the country into one of the leading producers of hybrid and all-electric vehicles within three years, and making it the world leader in electric cars and buses after that.
The goal, which radiates from the very top of the Chinese government, suggests that Detroit’s Big Three, already struggling to stay alive, will face even stiffer foreign competition on the next field of automotive technology than they do today.
“China is well positioned to lead in this,” said David Tulauskas, director of China government policy at General Motors.”

Obama said:
What we are asking is difficult. It will require hard choices by companies. It will require unions and workers who have already made painful concessions to make even more. It will require creditors to recognize that they cannot hold out for the prospect of endless government bailouts.
What more do you want him to say?

Participant[quote=AN]What’s so special about electric car?[/quote]
My point is that if a company doesn’t embrace future technologies — and in fact actively moves to bury them — then they will become obsolete and be surpassed by those companies who do embrace new technologies. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about electric cars or horse drawn carriages, this has been a truism of industry for eternity. Adapt or die!
