Fisker to build hybrid cars at idled Del. GM plant.

Vice President Joe Biden was among those on hand to announce the resurrection of the GM plant, which produced the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice roadsters, as well as an Opel version that was exported to Europe, before closing this summer.

"I refuse to believe that we will not once again lead the entire world in the manufacturing of automobiles," Biden told a crowd of more than 1,000, including scores of union workers. "This factory in Delaware, and the industry, are going to get back up off the mat."

2. I find this very exciting that some plants that have closed are moving forward.

Progress. We need to see more stories like this one, with Joe or without him.

3. I think they love him in Michigan

When he spoke to auto workers a while back, they were very enthusiastic and he was very convincing.

This is a great story. Hopefully there will be many more like it.
