Who killed the Electric Car?

What an experience it has been watching this documentary- it documentary filled me with rage but at the same time gave hope that all is not lost yet. It is a pretty objective look at things considering that there are documentaries out there which I would consider are more about propaganda than anything else.

'Who Killed the Electric Car?' is an essential watch for everyone - well maybe not everyone - only if you are remotely interested in wanting a better world. If I have enough money I want my next car to be a hybrid car (they don't sell electric cars anymore). I also found a New Zealand car company which specifically deals in Hybrid cars - great that they identified a niche and targeting it straight away.

Tomorrow is my day off but it has inexplicably filled up with 3 meetings - meetings that didn't exist before today afternoon. But that's good in a way - unexpected things sometimes lead to unexpected paths. Let's see how they go. I also have a meeting with Richard Collins on Monday regarding the future of 'Nowhere to Love' - have to see how that goes, especially since that project is not particularly in a good shape right now and whenever I think of the project all I can hear is someone calling me 'selfish'.

Till later,
Amit

ah yes. i remember a similar sense of rage after watching Michael Mann's The Insider. but that was fiction.

suggested approach to certain meetings: wait until you can see the whites of their eyes....

peace out, my friend.

Watched "Who Killed the Electric Car" recently (great documentary), then i heard that GM and Tesla are making another run at the electric car (yay for progress!) hopefully development of this technology can continue forward uninterrupted by the powers that depend on oil consumption.
