EVs and Energy: GM Insider Admits Company Knew Consumers Demanded Efficient Vehicles Decades Ago

EVs and Energy: GM Insider Admits Company Knew Consumers Demanded Efficient Vehicles Decades Ago: "I try to only talk about the future of EVs here, but this story from the past got my attention.

It's from a blog called All Cars Electric and is titled 'GM Insider Admits Company Knew Consumers Demanded Efficient Vehicles Decades Ago.'

This is a pretty astounding admission.

'As McManus said, 'The survey would estimate that people would estimate fuel economy fairly highly. Being a good economist, I said, 'No, they don't,' and I changed the results. [...] Our job was not to seek the truth, but to justify decisions that had already been made.'

So, as we go forward toward this new electric future, keep in mind that when big dollars are involved, you can expect that not everything the car makers, the utilities and even the regulators tell us is going to be true."
