on the path…new DVD rental
Who killed the electric car?
It’s a great documentary if you’re into such things.
I always thought an electric car was still in the future and the hybrid was the missing link between the combustion engine and pure electric. But apparently GM had it figured out as far back as 1996. It’s a perfect example of coming up with something that is too good. That is to say for what it was. Because obviousle it would be a poor choice for families needing to take kids around town. But for a daily commute to work? As Ed Begley Jr. said, “It was only good for about 90% of the people.” I enjoyed the comment.
The film makers do a great job creating the murder and empathy for a vehicle that no longer exists and rests now as history. I guess time will judge the guilty parties as the game of “Get as Much as You Can” plays itself out. That’s a real game by the way. It brings out the fear of lack by amplifying separateness among groups of people.
Well that’s Friday.
