Poll

What’s the most important action that decision-makers in industry and government should take to aid automakers?:

Mandate much higher fuel-efficiency for all new vehicles produced.

Dedicate more resources to efficient, lithium ion batteries for plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles.

Convert some of the car production capacities to bus and light rail manufacturing, and retrain workers.

Nothing. Let the affected companies file for bankruptcy and watch as taxpayer money is spent on more useful programs.
