...taking advantage. GEM, which stands for Global Electric Motorcars, is a Fargo, North Dakota, subsidiary of Chrysler that's been selling small electric vehicles for a decade - or as GEM President Rick Kapser has said, "back when gas was a $1.25 a gallon."

...that failure to win the day could precipitate an internal coup attempt against Brown. "Today was all about the durability of this government," said Jon Cruddas, a popular MP on the left of the Labour party, after casting his vote in favor of the measure. "The debate was a bit of an onion," said another Labour left-winger, Jeremy Corbyn, an opponent of the extension. "There was a serious debate about civil liberties.
