GM's 1997 EV1 electric vehicle - production killed

SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS BRILLIANT MUST-SEE DOCUMENTARY FILM!

If you care about High Gasoline Prices, People's Healthcare, the Environment,
Dependence on Foreign Energy, and Terrorism, then you'll want to see this new
film: "Who Killed The Electric Car?" It opened in theaters throughout the
U.S.A. this weekend, and it is excellent.

15 years ago, all of the major American car manufacturers had produced the
first wave of modern, beautifully-engineered, fully-electric cars. These
electric cars were much less expensive to maintain than gas or hybrid cars because:

(a) they required no gas (as opposed to hybrid cars); (b) they dramatically
reduced our dependence on oil; (c) their use would eventually result in both
reduced oil-and-gas prices and the elimination of our need for foreign oil; and
(d) these electric cars were charged at home through existing wiring, so they
created much less air pollution than either gas or hybrid cars.

10 years later, the same car companies were actively collecting all of these
electric cars from their customers and destroying them, despite their general
superiority and their many obvious advantages over gas and hybrid cars.

WHY?

"Who Killed The Electric Car?" is a very important, genuinely-patriotic
documentary film which answers that question by interviewing many of the insiders
and decisionmakers who are responsible for the policies that have put us back
on the path of oil addiction and economic slavery.

ACTION ALERT: Please e-mail everyone you know and urge them to see "Who
Killed The Electric Car?" this weekend, or as soon as possible. Also please see it yourself. It is distributed by Sony Pictures, and it is being shown right
now in theaters nationwide. If this film has good attendance over the first
week, it will be kept in theaters longer.

Finally, here are some typical comments from film reviewers:

"Chris Paine's documentary makes an unapologetic case for the electric car
and an unofficial indictment of the forces allied against it."
-- Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE

"Certainly makes the case that if the electric cars were available today in
mass quantities at competitive prices, they would sell like 'Girls Gone Wild'
videos."

-- Jack Mathews, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"If $3-a-gallon gasoline doesn't make you hate the big oil companies, the
shocking revelations in Chris Paine's thought-provoking documentary, 'Who Killed
the Electric Car?', will." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

"In many ways, the movie is superior to 'An Inconvenient Truth', with more
journalistic balance than the Al Gore global-warming film." -- Lisa Rose, NEWARK
STAR-LEDGER
