Re: GM's inductive EV death wedge

The skeptic in me leaps out and says that Honda is "teaming up"
to buy them out and shelve the technology...

Probably the same kind of thing as with Texaco and Ovonic (I
believe it was), and I wouldn't be overly surprised if the oil
companies that seem to be getting involved with solar technology
couldn't also shelve a lot of the solar capability.  Yeah, I
understand the concept of oil companies wanting to become
"energy" companies, but I'm quite suspicious (and somewhat
scared) that they will effectively shelve solar and renewables.
