Electric Cars

From the Metro

Chris Paine is the director of documentary film Who Killed The Electric Car?, which suggests that electric cars are reliable, fun, cleaner for the environment and could help end global conflicts over oil resources. It also asks who was responsible for sabotaging the idea: car firms, oil companies or consumers?

"Well, our little murder mystery has seven suspects. The car industry is probably involved the most, with the oil companies right behind them ' they poured so much money into getting the US government to kill the electric-car programmes."

I loved his description of oil as 'Middle Eastern Crack'. It kind of echoes what Al Gore was saying about the fact we will always be in deep poo whilst we are so dependant on such a volatile part of the world.
