This illustrates probably one of the reasons why GM's Volt is such a disaster.

We really need to pass those laws of physics so we can find out what’s in them.

That darn Mr. Physics.

Isn't he the guy that rings the doorbell every time someone invents a car engine that can run on water?

He's almost as bad as that jerk Mr. Thermodynamics that prevents all those hardworking garage inventors from getting their perpetual motions running!

Such massive, epic stupidity makes me want to jump off a bridge.

Physical, nature-related laws cannot be repealed by pieces of paper and a few signatures.

Hell, the democrats vote to change the laws of physics everyday.

Sounds just like the 1897 Indiana Pi Bill.

If you’re not familiar, look it up. Hilarious!

I so badly want to believe this is a joke, that it never happened. Please don’t let this be real.

This illustrates the entire history and corporate mindset of GM.

My best friend (from age five)is now a senior engineer at GM. I do not want some lib lurker to find a way to identify him so I'll leave out specifics but he has told me stories that make your head explode.

When the engineers were developing new engines and new lines of vehicles the bean counters with MBAs stepped in and insisted on cutting critical corners that turned excellent products into mediocre failures.

For decades I watched GM introduce what should have been great cars that were pieces of half made rolling stock. These vehicles would be modified over the years until a nice car was finally produced but then the bean counters would cancel the line. Some of them even told my friend they forced the engineers to deliberately make a crappy product that people would still buy then promise to make the wanted changes through several years so those same people would come back and buy more cars. A really cynical ploy and a bad way to run a business. Bankruptcy was inevitable.

If we were able to take Idi Amin Baba and his closest advisors, and put them in the White House, the results would be indistinguishable.
The level of apparent sophisticated rhetoric might not be as high, but the BS content would be identical.

I doubt whether these clown children, playing at grownups actually have the intellectual horsepower to even imagine a distinction between physical laws and arbitrary societal despotic ones.

Getting them running isn’t the problem, just try
stopping one. When it says perpetual, it mean perpetual.

the auto companies needed to make a car that was electric and liquid natural gas (LNG) with enough combined fuel to go 500 miles so we wouldn't "need" so many gas stations

They were told this design wouldn't work so the changed the requirements to a 100% windpower that uses no elecrticity, gas or LNG.

(Some of the others wrote down the law so they could look it up later.)

And these are the people who are supposed to be so big on science?

You mean Obama, the Master of the Universe, can’t veto the laws of nature? If you don’t believe Obama can invalidate the laws of nature, you must be an atheist.
