All this talk about electric plug in cars gets me thinking….is it really any better for the enviroment? Sure, they don’t use fossil fuels, but where do they get the electricity? I majority of the electricity made in America is made in thermo-electric plants that burn fossil fuels anyways….so, yeah. /rant off

LLLL#3 is right. Generalizations are generally bad.

@nitinsharma1000, unfortunately, Americans—through propaganda—have lumped every human being that carries a union card into the word “union” and slapped a negative connotation on it. This is patently wrong, and if America is to maintain an automobile industry then there are changes to be made within both the unions and the white collar fields. You cannot have the pay/perk disparities of high-paid executives and then start lambasting Americans who are in a union—both need to make critical adjustments, but both should be able to coincide peacefully with one another if America is truly a democracy. And I can state that without equivocation that even the white collar fields are being treated unfairly by upper-management who now have a trough full of euphemisms for screwing employees out of earned benefits.

nitinsharma1000, how can you call the unions crap, when you can’t even spell skilled right? I’m willing to bet you drive a American car made by the Unions. The newbies on this site are pathetic.

Thats a great move since they will find a lot of skiled layed off workers there. Just stay out of the union crap.

Glad to hear they are injecting some new job opportunities for the auto industry into that region. I think it will make a good home for Fisker engineering.
