GM, Dow join call for Carbon Caps
this is important, and it says a lot about GMs future plans.
They have cars in the works that will get 150 miles per gallon.

The unprecedented coalition calling for a cap and trade system to combat climate change, the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), has more than doubled its membership.

In a move that transforms the political landscape, General Motors is the first automobile manufacturer to join the coalition of high-level corporate and environmental leaders. The group's mission is to urge the federal government to:

cut greenhouse gas emissions 60-80 percent,
create business incentives and,
act swiftly and thoughtfully.
USCAP member companies represent industries critical to slowing climate change, including car manufacturing, utilities, chemical production and manufacturing. Twelve new companies join the original members, bringing the number of corporate partners to 22.
