It won't last into the future...things are changing. But for the moment, it will make the workers who still have jobs feel good in Michigan, and it will save the politicians asses in this election.
Michigan is in a bad position all the way around with the auto industry flailing about.
It's just amazing that a small company like Tesla can make bad ass electric cars, Japan can make the "Leaf" all-electric car, but Detroit's best offering is the half-ass Chevy Volt that has no real useable range as an electric and has to use mostly gasoline if you drive very far.

Of all the electric cars out there, I like the Fiat 500e the best, you can own one for about 20k, which if you really are concerned about the environment, more cars can be sold and the environment will be better off than getting the 75k Tesla

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
