Big 3 "visionary leaders" of "rebranded green" autos?

Ford only plans to build 50,000 hybrid cars next year. Is that leadership?So, when will the Big 3 make America foreign oil independent?

“They [Big 3] need to tell Congress next week and the world that they are visionary leaders of a rebranded green auto industry,” Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm said in an interview with The Detroit News. “We’re not whining. And I don’t think the auto industry should whine. They just need to lead. … They need to convey that they intend to lead our nation to energy independence.”

Talk about denial. The problem is that the Big 3 are not leading us to energy independence, at least not in the next few decades. Already, Big 3 CEOs testified before Congress that 35 mpg by 2020 was already pushing their capabilities. That won’t come close to ending even Persian Gulf oil dependence.

Is that the leadership to which Granholm is referring?
