Who Killed the Electric Car?
You guys really ought to take a look at this documentary. Ever wonder why your gas prices are so high? Why we have cell phones that can do anything under the sun and are changing every day but our cars are pretty much the same old same old they were 50 years ago?
This movie explains what happened to a perfectly functioning car called the EV1 that GM produced years ago. It details how eventually GM and other car manufacturers covered up this great asset to the every-day person.
For example instead of selling these cars...GM merely rented them to comply only long enough with goverment standards so that they could turn around and with the Bush Administration sue the board of California Air Resources Board.
They claim that the electric cars are not efficient or practical because when they had started producing them they only got around 90 miles per charge. However a using newer technology they were able to keep a car going 75mph on one charge for 300 Miles.
Ever wonder why it gas prices started to climb right when Bush was put in as President? Or why Hydrogen cars STILL are not on the market?
I really recommend this film, it is a real eye opener. You'd be amazed at how low some people stoop for money.
