General Motors, desperate to increase domestic sales, will include insurance on new car purchases. But only if you live in Oregon or Washington states.
It is part of an experimental marketing program, to increase car sales. The insurance will be provided by Met Life.
The experiment will last until September 6. Oregon and Washington are being targeted because GM sales suck in those two states.
Bonneville Power Administration has been shutting down their Oregon wind power farms, because of the late melting snowpacks in the local mountains.
Rivers that power hydroelectric dams have been full thanks to a wet winter and spring. Now the late melting of snow in the mountains is keeping the rivers fuller than normal, keeping the hydroelectric dams generating plenty of electricity, reducing the need for wind power.
