GM's group vice president for Global Powertrain and Quality, Tom Stephens, spoke yesterday at the US BioEnergy
ethanol plant in Woodbury, Michigan. Earlier, we brought you a
video of some folks from US BioEnergy on how the plant and company operate. Now, here's GM's view on how to use all that ethanol. Stephens cites the two biggies - energy independence and less CO2 released into the air - as reasons GM is supporting ethanol so much (see, for example,
this post and
this one), but he makes it clear that
hybrid/PHEVs and then
EVs and
hydrogen vehicles are the way of the future.
Give Tom a listen here.
