NLPC has been against the whole GM bailout and crony capitalism in the car industry from the start.
Now, try to think logically, “LogicDesigner”...
What is the relative balance of GMs fleet, between electric vehicles and oil-dependent vehicles?
A very simple analysis would tell you it is much more weighed to the latter than the former. Therefore, if all NLPC wants to do is trash the concept of electric vehicles, and increase petroleum sales, then they certainly should have THANKED the federal government for “saving” (cough) GM.
What’s most amazing of all with your post is that you attribute NLPC for being able to influence the electric vehicle market. The truth is, that even WITH the crony-capitalism advantage of taxpayer subsidies, the vast majority of electric cars are lemons in the market. No amount of propaganda - one way or another - would influence the rejection the market is outright giving many of these cars.
This reasoning is absurd. Mr. Scaife, oops, I mean NLPC, has been trashing the Volt since before it was released, back when it had zero sales. The oil industry is smart and they know they have to “nip this in the bud,” not wait until it has a significant marketshare before they start their propaganda.
Judging by how easily people here have treated NLPC as a trustworthy source for years goes to show that it is an effective strategy.
See for yourself, the author has done nothing in the past four years except put out anti-EV and anti-GM articles.
