I saw this last weekend:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/whokilledtheelectriccar/
A fairly good Wiki review:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Killed_the_Electric_Car?
We have the technology now to produce affordable electric cars that will go over 300 miles on a single overnight charge. They're low maintenance, required no filter or oil changes, and have no transmissions. The cost of driving one is equivalent to sixty cents per gallon, as it were.
The movie mentioned that 24% of California school children had lung lesions from air pollution. This car would have cured that.
And the car companies killed them.
I want one. I'd save over $4,000 in gas costs alone if I drove the thing for sixty thousand miles. I'd save on maintenance. They're peppy, and take off like a cheetah. I'd get a $4,000 dollar tax credit (though if I buy a Hummer I'd get a $20,000-$100,000 tax credit...go figure.)
Regards,
Steve
