Hey, I am no angel either... I have a 93' Jeep Cherokee, 97' Dodge Intrepid (ex cop car) and a enviro hating 65' Chevy PU.

The point of the post was to possibly get some people to watch the documentary. It is about how California made a mandate for all major car companies to make a percentage of their line electric cars. They complied and leased the cars out. The drivers loved them. The car companies fought back and got the mandate killed. When the leases were up they forced the people to give the cars back and then they secretly crushed them even though people offered to buy them. All of the other major car companies followed suit. One of the reasons that they said the car wasn't feasable was the limits on range and speed. A battery company had a battery that would subsantially increase speed and range but GM bought a majority of the co.'s stock and wouldn't try the battery. GM sold the batt co. to Texaco.

I don't have time to go on as I am planning on doing my Christmas shopping early this year. Watch the movie as it is interesting. Bush doesn't run our country... Big oil does... but then again what is Bush's family business besides military supplies?
