Right Next to the Darwin Awards

"Who Killed the Electric Car" sits on the shelf in our movie library right next to the "Darwin Awards". It seems that the decision of the BIG car manufacturers to kill the electric car is biting them in their big b.... now. The Hummer is dead, and hundreds of thousands of people are now stuck with getting less than half of blue book when trying to refinance or trade in their gas guzzlers. The Electric Car has gone mainstream. Woo-Hoo! Even politicians like Indiana Senator Richard G. Lugar, are on the band wagon to reduce foreign oil dependence and taking a lead to support the development of alternative energy systems for automotive transportation. I believe we have a lot to look forward to in 2009, if Obama is elected the next President of the United States. I see us entering into a new renaissance period, a time of revival, where creative solutions, innovative design and technologies such as alternative energy and transportation will take a quantum leap in R&D and production.

Great expose' of GM (yet again)

I really enjoyed this movie. It shows an example of powerful interests doing what serves them, and not what is right.
In any case, while bicycling and walking are the best modes of transportation, electric cars are worth testing out, compared to the current global warming-, misery- and obesity-causing cars and trucks 80% of Americans toot around in every day of the week.

I'd like to see a documentary on what GM did to the Key Route streetcar line in the East Bay (trains formerly carried commuters over the old bay bridge) and similar lines around the country. There is probably no film footage of these American cities' light rail cars being junked and burned... or is there?

An interesting documentary.

Personnally I love the idea of the electric car. So after seeing this doc., I believe it. But in the other hand, it is kind of akward for me that a "documentary" filmmaker tells you what you should believe...
But this is a great documentary after all!
