Electric cars ... who knew?
2010-01-30
Reviewer: D. Reed
Who Killed The Electric Car is a movie that all concerned citizens should see! It was well done and it showed facts without a political agenda. You're free to draw your own conclusions, but you'll think about why automobile manufacturers secretly destroyed their electric cars when movie stars and many others were going to extreme lengths in an attempt buy one.
I was not aware that people were using electric cars as there regular means of transportation in the 1990s. That fact and many other facts were real eyeopeners for me. After watching the movie, I'm convinced that electric cars will be the wave of the future. The demands of the public will cause automobile manufacturers to build electric cars and not destroy them. The general public will not accept having to spend their money on oil related products and expensive maintenance when they can have more efficient, clean, and almost maintenance free automobiles.
All Americans should see

A real investigation should be conducted as to why this car was taken off the market several years ago. I smell a rat. Is there any investigative journalists up to the challenge?
Where does electricity come from?

Reviewer: TPower
We have been using electricity for over 100 years and I can't believe, based on the reviews of this documentary, how many people have no idea where it comes from. ELECTRICITY IS NOT A SOURCE OF ENERGY! Think about that a minute.....say it out loud..ELECTRICITY IS NOT A SOURCE OF ENERGY! Electricity is only a means to effectively move energy from one location to another. In order to create electrical energy you need some sort of machine to create it and some energy source needs to drive that machine, like coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, and for those of you who don't understand how large our current needs are, you can wish for wind, geothermal and solar.
Converting to electric anything will only increase our demand for generating facilities and this increased demand can not be satisfied with "green" sources. Until we come up with a totally different method of generating energy, beyond our current understanding of physics, we need to look at what is the best way to use the energy sources we have and be realistic in how we develop them. This is not a big conspiracy, this is real life, coal, gas, hydro and nuclear are the most abundant and efficient source of energy that we have and will have for many years to come.
This should be seen by every adult.

Don't watch this documentary if your blood pressure tends to skyrocket when you encounter something that makes even an experienced and hardened realist cringe at the corporate gluttony which is revealed here. Every adult U. S. citizen as well as all high school students should be exposed to the conduct demonstrated here which has actually set our country back both in our economic health and in our national security. Here we have what WAS a major corporation on the brink of a new technology which could have benefitted both the corporation and the citizens of this country, and they threw it all away due to its own ill conceived corporate greed and the greedy pressure of its big oil allies. We see in this video a description of what the anti-trust laws were designed to prevent, and yet nothing was done by our government to stop what happened. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
