In response to a year-old shareholder resolution
that was initiated by environmentally-minded consumer groups, Ford Motor Company has released a report on how the
company intends to deal with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The report does not lay out
specific plans or goals, stating that “there continue to be too wide a range of possible futures for
technologies, markets, and regulatory frameworks “ for that to happen. Ford also states that the scope of the
problem expands far beyond the auto industry, and thus sees further communication with federal government policymakers
as being vital towards achieving a meaningful reduction in carbon emissions.
Environmentalists now want to
see similar action taken by GM, but that automaker is said to be somewhat more reluctant to issue any commitment to
reducing its production of CO2.
