"GM has recycled tons of plastic that was used to clean up last summer's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, using it to build parts for Chevy Volt electric cars. \nThe company figured out how to turn 100 miles' worth of the plastic booms used to contain the enormous oil leak into 100,000 pounds of plastic resin. That material will be combined with recycled tires from another GM facility, resulting in a plastic engine component that deflects air around the car's radiator. \n\n\n\n\nAccording to GM, the 50 tons of recycled plastic will be enough to last the company through the first year of Chevy Volt production. However, Chevy has announced that it'll manufacture just 10,000 units in 2011. \nEven so, this largely symbolic effort to turn lemons into lemonade should result in some positive juju for the shiny new Volt, which just hit the streets last week."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
