Death of the Electric Car

I watched this documentary the other day and it was pretty depressing but most definitely illuminating.  There are still 100 Trillion dollars worth of oil to be extraceted from the Earth and you can bet that the oil companies are going to do their best to get every last drop of profit out before they let electric vehicles become the transport of choice.  The death of the EV as well as the death of cheap trolley transportation in LA are both real conspiracies that should get a lot more publicity.  Anyways here it eez for your viewing pleasure (or pain).

On a lighter note here is one of the first commercials for the EV that GM ever put out.  I couldn't stop laughing this is so rediculous.

I donno about you but I would have been stoked to buy this spacewhip and cruise around with these...shadows of aliens?  Lol wtf.

On a brighter note it looks like the EV will be back sooner than later.  During a tour of the Tesla Headquarters a few days ago I got to see some of the projects in their prototype room.  Nope no crazy alien spacewhips...but they did have five or six Rav4's on lifts being fitted with electric batteries and motors.  Im pretty sure the waiting list is already full, and they will be released within the next year or so, WITH the option to actually buy the car.  Hope is on the horizon....
