Nancy Pelosi gave in to the White House and its position that the money should come from $25 billion in loans previously approved to help the automakers retool for energy fuel efficient vehicles, rather than drawing the aid from the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Fund for struggling financial institutions. In return, Pelosi is seeking a guarantee that the money would be replenished in "a matter of weeks."
| So is there $10bn left for Tesla, Fisker et al, or will the Detroit 3 be trying to take that for their green programs too? |

David, it sounds like JC is finally going green if he "buys an allotment", eh? He sounded quite serious when he described the situation as the "economic end-of-days".

I'm sure he is playing it up a bit and probably in fear of losing some of his beloved supercar brands, but remember JC is just a TV presenter at the end of the day... | |
