The reasons lie on the one hand in the credit squeeze on the markets and on the other in people's anxiety about the future. ... But is it worthwhile to inject such astronomical sums into the automobile industry? If the result is a sector that produces cheap, comfortable electric cars, the answer is yes. More probable, however, is that the antiquated structures and overproduction will remain. So it's not worth it."
