There is no excuse to not watch the video, as the whole movie is on YouTube. I will say it is one of the better documentaries I have ever seen. It really dispels the "myths" about the electric car. I was not even close to being a supporter of the concept but the movie does a great job at presenting the truth behind the car, and the industry. I agree with Ban, something has to be done. I am enjoying my 40 miles or so per gallon, and am spending much less on gas, but the day of a fully electric would be nice.

Some may remember Neil Young. He has been in town a lot lately working on the development of a conversion of a 1959 Lincoln to hybrid electric that gets over 100 MPG. That shows how much we are being deceived in the technology of the hybrids, and how much more could be done with the fully electric, at least to large extent.

Here is a link but one could google Wichita Neil Young and see a lot of info beyond the article posted below.
