GM has announced that they will stop production of the gas guzzling Hummer. The bad news is that about 3,000 jobs may be lost. The good news is that maybe people in the US (and China, since they backed out of a deal to buy Hummer) are realizing that we are experiencing an environmental crisis and want to do something to change it.
Hopefully GM will work harder to make fuel-efficient cars for us now. My fingers are crossed.
