As he cruised along U.S. 191, passing some of America’s finest scenery, I asked Ewanick what success looked like -- “What’s the story you’ll get to tell five years from now if you get this right?”
He responded, “We’ll look back and say, ‘Finally a car company stepped up and signaled to the world that cars are part of the issue when it comes to CO2.’ And as the car industry grows around the world, that we got together and started doing initiatives like this together. In the end, it can’t be just Chevrolet. A lot of our competitors need to join us on this.”
Can GM really move the needle on climate change -- and on its own image as a responsible company? It’s a long, long journey, filled with potholes at every turn. The destination is far off, at times elusive.
But for at least a day, we should celebrate what’s at minimum a symbolic shift by America’s largest automaker, and very possibly much more than that.

I'd like to know how they
I'd like to know how they arrived at $5 per ton for carbon. In the EU carbon is trading at $17, in N America you can’t trade carbon at all.
The article says they are investing $40 million on clean energy projects. Ha, I’d like to see some of those; like some people are selling carbon offsets for trees that they did not cut down this year, then the next year they sell them again, then the next year they sell them again.... the Carbon business is a corrupt sewer. Lol!
