Why have the environmentalists zeroed in on Ford?

What's the deal?  Because, by a miniscule margin, they had a slightly smaller ave. MPG than GM?  And you ignore their efforts to produce a hybrid that a lot of Americans would actually buy anyway?  And they've gone to Congress saying we should have a gas tax if we want to reduce oil use?

So what is it?  Why Ford and not, for example, GM?  As you remember, even Ford find let there customers keep their electric Rangers.

(No, I'm not a Ford employee, and no auto company is really all that green.  But I just see a lot of displaced anger at Ford for some reason....)

Gee,I must be some kind of pollyanna neil.You don't really care about the environment unless there is money in it.This is not a shock mr. golightly(by the way what a name for an auto exec.)that you only care about the bottom line.The bottom line is that ford has fallen out of first place in auto sales to a japanese company,because they have seen the writing on the wall and are producing cars that are selling because they are more fuel efficient and are not as dependent on the oil industry.They are making huge sales because they can make money and be more environmetally friendly.Your company,neil golightly ,is a dinosaur that IS in the tarpit and going down because you won't change.And it is not only ford, it is the U.S. auto industry on the whole.We will drop like a stone as china and india come into the auto production market in the next 3to5 years.
 The handwriting has been on the wall for decades Neil,ford and other U.S. auto producers have been trying to white wash over the facts on that wall that big,heavy,inefficient automobiles are dinosaurs and that they are going down in the economic tarpit.
