Excerpt:

The story is about a program Chevy announced late last year, in which the company promised to purchase carbon dioxide offsets that would fund “environmentally-friendly” projects, which would counterbalance the emissions created by the 1.9 million vehicles the company expects to sell in 2011. Among the projects Chevrolet said would be funded were forestry projects, methane capture from landfills, wind farms, solar farms, and energy efficiency projects and upgrades.

Why is Chevy doing this, the video narrator asks? She altruistically answers, “Our children, our future, and the simple fact that we’re all in this together. Today, tomorrow, and into a brighter future.”

That’s GM: sponging off taxpayers not only to save the company and its unions, but also using them to score points with eco-extremists.
