I'm coming to a close in my blog shortly, today's the last day of class and I feel I haven't gotten much closer to a decision. Next semester I will be taking Environmental Issues as a class at the University of Mary. Hopefully this class will contribute to my on-going thoughts on vehicle power supplies.
As I think about another possible discussion for my blog I turn to msn.com to check and see what's going on in the world. I notice an add for a vehicle that obviously wants us to not the EPA est. 33 mpg. Are we seriously so deceived as a society that we believe 33 mpg to be a great increse or standard for mpg. I remember in the mid '90s when that was just a typical rating for any Honda you could buy or even earlier than then.
As a consumer I'm not really suprised to hear about the possible closing or government bailout proposed by the 3 major US auto companies. We've known for years about the lack of quality in their products and many of us knew about the ridiculous amount of money being payed to individuals for doing very minimal work backed by unions. I wasn't one of the latter. Recently I found out about the amount of money that union workers get payed to simply put a tire on a vehicle in the assembly line. In my opinion, if this is what these major auto companies allow their workers unions to enforce them to pay, they should be going out of business.
