| | So, I am watching the documentary "Who killed the Electric Car?" For those of you who have never heard of this film, it essentially tells the story of how mass-marketable electric cars were built and marketed by GM....and then killed off purposely by a combination of Automakers, Oil, and lax government. I've been putting off watching this movie for a while because I knew it would enrage me. And it has. Which is why I'm writing this blog entry.
But rather than go into a rant about everything that is wrong with the Government/Big Business reltaionships in this country I will just say that the only thing that makes me feel a little better is the fact that the car companies are now in bankruptcy. While I feel horrible for the job loss, I REALLY hope all the executives at the top are going "I think we were really really stupid by killing the electric car. I hate myself."
Obama, will you please bring back the electric car? I really hope that it's on the agenda for all the restructuring plans. I would buy one in a second. Anything to decrease my gas costs which are way too much. Yes hybrids are great too, but I think your problems in the Middle East and Afghanistan/Pakistan would be greatly decreased if you could make half the car-owning population of the US own an electric car.
