Who Killed the Electric Car?

What is there to say about this film? It is a vital 'need to see' film. This is a prime example of the lies coming out of DC. The technology is there. There is no reason to be dragging our feet on this issue. We have the means to change our society's impact on Earth and we need to take control of that direction with the commitment to never turn back. We can't. The Oil Age is Over.

This little car could easily be driven by people owning SUVs as most of the time there is only one person in the large and polluting vehicle and that is the driver. This quick to accelerate car could easily be tooled up for mass production resulting in a lower cost to consumers. GM made a huge mistake to invest in production of SUVs rather than taking a stand for a safer Earth. There are currently waiting lists for hybrids, there is no doubt in my mind this car would have taken off in popularity. With use would come wider spread infrastructure and Americans would have their answer to Kyoto, proudly again at the forefront, leading the way into the energy revolution we are all capable of.

This is a must see film. The insight regarding electric cars from the beginning of the horseless carriage is fascinating. The film educates to the power a "W"rong minded corporation and the ill effects it brings to a society of people seeking answers and not more problems. This film has shadows of "Roger and Me" all over it. It was a great film. Very nice inclusion for a film festival that would also screen "An Inconvenient Truth."
