Who Killed the Electric Car?

[Heracles 417]

Anyone seen this documentary?? Made me mad after watching it.

I always thought Steven was a little paranoid when it came to corporations. I think he may be on to something. Certain corporations here have way to much power and influence in America. Especially with regards to services that not only influence but affect our everyday lives; and living standard. These same corporations are the ones who usually throw out this ####### about letting the consumer decide and allowing the free market to work. This country was founded for the people and certainly not for boardrooms and executives. The country did not break off from the UK, from the control of a monarchy, only to end up being a slave of corporations.

I never want to buy a GM product again. In a few years they will have the nerve to turn around and say look at our new green volt. Coming from the same company that years earlier deliberately killed their EV1 cars. Karma is a ###### GM; with their $15 billion dollar loss.

I also couldn't believe it that the freaking oil companies killed off light rail in America. They bought the infrastructure up and then shut down the networks in so many cities. A transportation medium that would be extremely handy in todays $3.90 a gallon gas age.

Toyota is starting to kick their ### in the truck market as well.

I loved the remark in the documentary where GM laughed at the Prius and said it would be a fad and was a waste of money for Toyota and Honda.. hahahaha
