climate change?

Just watched an interesting documentary called "Who Killed the Electric Car", about the Eve1 and all those electric car models they rolled out in California some years back and subsequently killed. It wasn't perfect, but it was a sensible option -- decent mileage, cost the same to run as a gas car with none of the smoke, didn't run on a combustion engine so didn't break down as much and was easier to fix (a fact car companies hated since repair jobs were a huge part of their business). Bottom line, political will (and a lot of collective will from constituents) is needed to make stuff like this happen, and sadly we haven't been pushed far enough to the edge to admit to ourselves that something must be done, whatever it takes.
