Rush Limbaugh has decided he is going to make the final decision on General Motors’ new electric car, the Chevy Volt. $ 41,000 is “a steep price to pay for showing you care about the environment,” Limbaugh believes according to the Politico. Executives like called the car a “game-changing product” although Limbaugh himself thinks it, also as the $ 7,500 tax credit Obama is offering with the car, is ridiculous. Limbaugh feels like the product isn’t being marketed well since a game-changing product certainly doesn’t need any kind of incentive to be sold.
Chevy Volt shows the industry is doing better
A car like the Chevy Volt that is battery powered and gas powered shows the industry is doing much better, says Robert Gibbs of the White House. Considering that both the vehicle and its innovative lithium-ion battery are likely to be made in America, the Obama administration could reasonably consider the Chevy Volt a feather in its cap. Obviously not every person is happy about this new development.
Batter comments by Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh doesn’t care about the outstanding warranty program on the battery of the Chevy when knowing that it takes “three to four hours” to charge up and can only travel 40 miles before gas has to kick in. Limbaugh feels so strongly about the situation that any GM ads that were going to run during his show were canceled. He gave the company the nickname “Obama Motors” because GM got so much bailout money.
’Expensive solutions to promote the environmentalist agenda’ is what he thinks it really is
Limbaugh feels like the $ 41,000 Chevrolet Volt and the $ 30,000 Toyota Prius need to be cheaper. Others might argue that the reduction of emissions is worth it within the long run, and that the technology will gradually become less expensive. Such is the plight of early adopters of any technology. A premium is paid for being first on the block. There could soon be a reward with green technology like the Chevy Volt, although many people may have to wait for it.
