time.com — No one would mistake Chris Paine for a General Motors shill. In his 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, the filmmaker laid out a damning case against GM for unplugging the EV1, the electric vehicle it manufactured in the 1990s and then discontinued in 2003, preferring instead to produce high-margin but gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs.

And you wonder why gas is so f**king expensive! Sure we'll build bigger vehicles with 6.9 liter engines that suck gas so fast it's like taking a constant terd on the environment!!! Way to go GM! Never buy one of your vehicles! Thanks for looking out for the future of mankind!!!

Driving on electricity makes only about 3% of the emissions (from powerplants) that a gas-powered car does, according to a recent study. The figure is so much lower due to several factors: the fact that a decent proportion of electricity is made from clean sources; the fact that fuel burns more efficiently in large powerplants than in your car; the fact that distribution of energy via wire is far more efficient than trcuking fuel all around; and the greatly improved efficiency of electric motors/regenerative braking versus gas engines.Study: <a class="user" href="http://www.electric-cars-are-for-girls.com/electric-powered-cars.html">http://www.electric-cars-are-for-girls.com/electri ...</a>"...in a study conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, EVs were significantly cleaner over the course of 100,000 miles than ICE cars. The electricity generation process produces less than 100 pounds of pollutants for EVs compared to 3000 pounds for ICE vehicles."

Fuel cells suck, most bio fuels suck. Go battery / capacitor and solar. Why WHY WHY did it take so damn long to get some people to put money into solar and batteries is my only question. No I don't want an answer. I am very happy that it is very probable that solar/battery will come of age.Where is my spacecraft? I want to mine asteroids for a living. Driving is last lifetime.

GM's newest business partner, the torturing, murdering government of Uzbekistan headed by Islam Karimov , had one of it's outspoken critics assassinated today. Screw GM.
