GM Announces The End Of Building Diesel/Gas-Powered Cars And Trucks

In a stunning announcement, GM says it will stop making all diesel and gas-powered cars and trucks. Its goal is to be carbon neutral by 2040 so to that end it will stop all diesel and gas-powered production by 2035. That’s it. No more Duramax Silverados. No more V8 Corvettes. In fact; no more internal combustion anything.

Guess what's going to increase in price?

So were computers, VCRs, color TVs, etc. when they first came out. By 2040 battery technology should cut that cost by quite a bit.

I am speaking of the gas and diesel trucks they are making they cost more than my first house. The sub-prime market has the highest rate of loan failure in the auto industry....

Should is what? And that isn't the only thing to consider in cost- have you ever heard of free electricity? Or, the after market? Or, used cars? Geezus- can you not think beyond your nose?

Then theres the landfill full of toxic chemicals.

They should have continued with hydrogen power rather than electric

My first house cost 11k- that was in 1970- my 72 Nova cost 2900 bucks- my 74 Cheyenne cost 3200 bucks- my 76 GranPrix cost 6k- it's along list of cost increases-

They are....I wrote a paper in physics class in college about the use of hydrogen to power automobiles in 1980. There is big production plans in---the Middle East.
