there is a new documentary coming out this summer, its about Electric Cars. Looks very interesting and so i thought i may post some excerpts from its review and some other links regarding the movie.
Excerpts
“Who Killed the Electric Car?” isn’t some dorm-room video project. Its main producer is Dean Devlin, an electric-vehicle enthusiast who produced the blockbuster “Independence Day.” It’s narrated by Martin Sheen, features an interview with EV1 fan Mel Gibson and opens in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The movie is in the genre of Michael Moore’s “Roger and Me” and “Super Size Me,” opinionated documentaries that created bad publicity for the companies under scrutiny. It’s unwelcome attention for GM as it struggles to remake itself as a leaner company and stop its market-share slide.
The movie contends that oil companies campaigned against electric vehicles, that politicians were swayed by a mirage of future hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and that automakers purposely tamped enthusiasm for the cars because they needed less service and fewer replacement parts.
and once you are done watching the movie, maybe you can post some of your own reviews
