Since the gas prices have exploded the production of alternative
vehicles has too.
Please don't fall for the hydrogen trap; Hydrogen Gas is Not a Solution!
You spend More Energy producing Hydrogen Than You Get from Burning
It also You Can't Afford to Ship or Store It! www.fromthewilderness.com
Major auto manufactures have bilked us out of billions of dollars
in tax dollars for R & D on this technology that they know will
never be the answer. If it ever goes into production it will only
be so they can squeeze more revenue out of us.
The batteries to make electric vehicles practical
and affordable could have been available ten years ago if the corporate
giants wouldn't be so greedy. Battery technology today is even better;
hopefully we the people can break the oil barons' political economic
strangle hold.
Vast improvements are being made in battery storage capacity this
new technology can be pushed to real life quickly if those who possess
it can avoid the legal political mine fields and traps set by the
filthy rich fossil fuel industrialists.

EV1
program ended video click here
|
GM
produced hundreds of EV1s. Then only leased them. Many drivers fell
in love with the EV1 because of it's fast clean quiet low maintenance
ride. What is the real reason GM called back all the leased cars
and stopped making the EV1? As one owner called it GM's Twilight
Zone. First! Is it reasonable to believe that the auto industry
has an interest in the oil industry? Second! When a vehicle is high
maintenance you know that manufacturers make much more money on
parts and labor. The auto wars begin. Just pure business capitalism.
Money dictates what is produced and what the media tells us to buy.
The government stepped in to take asbestos insulation and cigarette
smoking out of our buildings. I remember when I was a kid it was
all right to burn trash in your back yard. I predict in the future
poisonous exhaust will be outlawed.
In 1990, California found itself in
danger of losing highway funds if it couldn't find a way to meet
air quality targets set by the Federal Clean Air Act. As the California
Air Resources Board looked to prototype electric cars coming out
of GM. The air resources board proposed a mandate that by 1998,
2% of cars sold in California would be zero-emission vehicles. By
2001 increased to 5%. And by 2003 10% of all new automobiles sold
in California would be emission free. (It didn't happen.) In 1990
GM responded whole heartedly. The company committed millions of
dollars and teams of designers and engineers, who emerged six years
later with an attractive electric car named the EV1. It then recruited
a sales team good at selling cars with the patience and passion
to educate an interested but suspicious public. It ended up with
an enthusiastic group of men and women who believe in the promise
of EVs. GM titled them "EV specialists". Five years later,
they would be considered "the Subversives." The EV specialists
were bitterly disappointed that when they finally began to accomplish
what the GM company had recruited them to do they found themselves
fighting for the survival of the EV1 against GM. My guess is that
they, the oil industry and auto manufacturers, the most powerful
lobbyist in the nation, can dictate government actions and regulations.
They determined that electric vehicles are contrary to their better
interest of making money so will do what ever it takes to stop the
public from becoming aware of the necessity of EVs for public health.
