Online petitions are often an interesting facet of the internet. Circulated amongst people with common interests to save or draw attention to a product that many deem worth the attention, they rarely do good unless they are circulated with enough publicity. In the case of “Save the Volt,” fans of the Chevrolet Volt are hoping their petition is circulated with enough signatures to generate some serious action on behalf of Chevrolet.
The petition reads as follows: “Dear Volt enthusiast: The auto industry is at the brink of collapse, and the Chevy Volt is in peril.” There is a link back to the Save the Volt! website and a letter to the United States government on behalf of the group. It is signed “Thanks, Lyle.” Lyle is Dr. Lyle J. Dennis, founder of the Save the Volt! website.
The goal here appears to be twofold: first to draw attention to the possibility that the Chevrolet Volt may be under some pressure to scale down or draw back on production in light of the current economic climate. Second, that the automotive industry’s economic issues may impact the production of environmental cars on the whole.
