BigGov: Chevy's Green Efforts Due To "Leftists Tak[ing]
Over" And Are Funded By Taxpayers
BigGov Claims Chevy's
Green Efforts "The Kind of Business Model That You Get When Leftists Take
Over." A January 13 post on Andrew Breitbart's blog Big Government
mocked Chevrolet's Carbon Reduction initiative, which focuses on "investing in
greenhouse gas-reducing projects...like wind farms, solar and energy efficiency,"
according to the initiative's website. [Chevycarbonreduction.com, accessed 1/14/11]
Including a video clip of a
recent ad for the Chevy Volt, the Big Government post
claimed:
There was a time when Chevy built
cars and trucks. The Corvette and Camaro were legendary sports cars, and the
Impala offered full size comfort [sic] a middle
class price. But that was before Change came to town. The brand that used
to compare itself to Baseball, Hot-Dogs, and Apple Pie is no longer content to
just make reliable vehicles, it is now as green as a wheatgrass and algae
smoothie.For instance, in the following
commercial: Chevy isn't just building cars anymore, it's "investing" in
windmills, and planting trees.[video clip]
This is the kind of business model that you get when Leftists take
over. Before 2008, GM just tried to make cars that people would buy, for a
little more money than they cost to build. Now, they have to plant a forest.

BigGov Claims GM
Using Taxpayer Money On Green Effort. The Big
Government post also
suggested that GM is using taxpayer money to "plant windmills and trees." From
the post:
It's for reasons like this that General Motors is never expected
to fully pay back the bailout money. According to the
Congressional Oversight Panel, Taxpayers will lose about 19 billion dollars on
the General Motors bailout.That's a lot of green. You can't really blame General Motors. When
you have an extra 19 billion to play with, why not plant windmills and trees?
It seems like the corporate suites, are working on a bigger Buzz than the one
they hired to do the voice-over. A more rational voice might ask about the
forest that had to be cut down to print all that money. [Big Government, 1/13/11]
In Fact, Chevy's Initiatives Are Not Government Mandated, Do Not Use Taxpayer Money
Chevy Carbon Reduction Site: "The
Government Had Absolutely No Role In This" Project. On the Questions and
Answers section of Chevrolet's site about the green
initiative, Chevrolet states that the government "had absolutely no
role" in the project and that the company "is making this commitment
voluntarily." From the site:
