One person in a comment to the article mentioned what I've been thinking - why not give it away? The obvious reason is GM doesn't want to give away its design and technology secrets (especially to the Russians), if I read the tea leaves right. But, a deal could be structured that would allow future profits to flow back to GM if there are any. A monitoring process could be structured relative to the Russians, even if difficult and cumbersome. Even that is better than shuttering a viable plant and putting 3,000 people out of work. That's the part I can't stomach. Why should I have compassion for GM when it shows no compassion for 3,000 people? There may be a lot I'm missing, but watching that has happened at GM over the last year has disgusted me.
