Governments bailing out dinosaur car companies was a short-term fix too. And those fuckers (GM' date=' Ford etc...) still aren't investing enough into alternative technologies... and they had the time. No matter in the long run. Less reliance on cars is healthier for the environment in the long-run. [/quote'] Ford didn't get a bail out and does actually put quite a bit into R&D into alternative energy sources. True story.
