• Who killed the electric car?

  

  The electric car has first been manufactured around 1996, but apparently General Motors then killed off its rise in use and popularity. “Who Killed The Electric Car” is a documentary that examines the beginnings of the electric car, as well as its death, and the role that renewable sources and sustainable living holds so significantly into our future.

   Here in Norway we've got a fair few on the city roads, scaring the poo out of us poor cyclists when they silently sneak up from behind.. You get a lot of exemptions from stuff like toll-booth charges, free charging of the batteries and the like. We've got lots of hydo-electricity so maybe thats 1 reason. We are still slowly messing up nature in other ways, but at least el-cars are considered cool here now..

   GM made one thousand EV-1's at a cost of one million each to make and put them up for lease. NO ONE WANTED THEM!!!!! If you can't find a thousand customers for a product out of 300 million people there is no market. Any company that ignores real people to serve the whims of lunatics and envirowhackos and that believe in global warming hoax's or that the UN is something other then a thieving dictators club will FAIL. CO2 is good! Ask any plant. They love CO2 just talk to one. Hitler was the first GREEN president since those 6 mil pesky Jews would have had a HUGE carbon footprint.

   Your dumber than a crate of dull gray rocks.

   Do you deny that smog, acid rain, polluted rivers and oceans, are manmade?? Do you deny these things exist??

   If not then it doesn't matter whether or not you 'believe' in global warming. We need to address the pollution that fouls our air with blankets of toxic smog. That kills the coral reefs and makes fish so poisoned with mercury (etc) that their not safe to eat anymore.

   The very things we need to do to stop pollution, smog, acid rain, are the same things we need to do to stop global warming (if it exists)…therefore, like every statement i've seen of yours, your premise is idiotic.

   As for your asinine comments about Hitler's pogrom against the Jews…BURN IN HELL you petty little vindictive blind racist moron
