This is a move for Ford's long term survival. Good thing Tesla is getting into semi-trucks because Ford is coming after them with a vengeance now.

Commented Jan 15, 2018 on Ford says it will more than double previously announced investment in electrification; $11B by 2022, 40 electrified vehicles at Green Car Congress

I've been reading that because Ford/Chrysler/GM are making more expensive cars, rental car fleets are switching to Nissan and others. This is probably going to fill that void also.

They launched the program in 2009 and paid Venter and his company hundreds of millions of dollars ---- so where are the production facilities? This looks more and like a scam, like so many others in renewable energy. Step 1: Have an elitist academic type make a bunch of noise, Step 2: Convince politicians and globalists there is a problem that requires a Marxist redistributionist globalist solution, Step 3: Elites get rich at the expense of common working people and future unborn generations through trillions more dollars added to the debt.

This is a no-brainer, as anyone who has looked at the pictures of the lungs of smokers knows. But to label C02 as a pollutant is a marxist ploy that has nothing to do with science.

Why did Obama want to use American taxpayer resources to help the Brazilians explore for oil in the Atlantic Ocean, establish drill rigs in the Atlantic Ocean and be one of Brazil's best customers, but won't let Americans drill in Arctic Ocean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7FrK8tNKqA

Given the competitive nature of the auto industry & the amount of spying going on, there is a very high likelihood that other automakers have been doing the same thing as VW, but VW just happened to get caught ---- like doping in professional sports. They better do a review of EVERYONE and not just crucify VW.

Why wouldn't the coal companies simply compete directly with the steel companies by making their own carbon fibers from coal?

gor said "This green market is just fraud organized by international banks to lend more money to goverments all over the world , acquire patents to push price up for all kind of products."

@Cheese: Here is what they said at Car And Driver about it "If the truck in the pictures looks familiar—yes, that’s the new one—it’s because the styling changes are quite minor. The front end gets squintier headlamps, a rearranged front bumper, LED fog lights, and a surprisingly modest new grille with a trio of louvers without any sort of gauche chrome surround. Other changes are limited to new wheels, a redesigned liftgate, and new tailpipes. That’s it." http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2015-ford-expedition-photos-and-info-news

Meet the new Expedition - same as the old Expedition. They could have at least changed the design to make it look similar to the new F-150 (based on Atlas concept)...BUT Ford will still sell some of these (with heavy incentives / discounts).
