Automotive industry's imminent defeat at the root of looking at? Look beyond the big three, and the failure of the United Auto Workers, the cheap gasoline attack on the Green.
After the 1980s, the American automobile industry's Golden Swan SUV and light truck sales have been. The vehicles were so popular and profitable, so that the big three high wages and generous benefits to UAW demands can tolerate. The golden goose, even the "big three" notorious UAW jobs bank, where thousands of redundant car workers on the payroll for years, the cost of millions of dollars to the car.
But for decades, "big three" and the UAW all the "core of good times" cheaper than gasoline fuel, ignoring SUV sales. Some strange reason, neither the company nor the UAW of our gasoline supply on the courage or vision was to Chokehold greens.
While the greens to offshore oil drilling and Court are blocked, so is the Arctic National Wildlife refuge, "three" and the UAW are otherwise expected as the big public. If the greens and expansion of the strict rules that the EPA expensive and unprofitable refinery expansion, the automotive industry is a snooze by the Plant for gasoline by direct opposition to block the expansion of refineries to work. Only Ford CEO William Clay Ford Jr. in the organic matter, but as a useful has been made. He increased gas taxes for the public to buy SUVs away from the meeting.
