Has anyone else seen this film? It's very depressing to understand how
people and businesses can conspire against our prosperous future so
blatantly.
Do you think that it is possible that there are practical problems with
electric cars that kept them from catching on? As one of the
commentators on a discussion group about this film stated, wouldn't
they have been a lot more practical in Europe where gas prices are much
higher than the US? Why wouldn't a small European car company make
them.

I saw the film Dan, at the Santa Monica Library and went away with the
same feelings of frustration. I live in California and wasn't even
aware these prototypes were out there. At the talk afterward some of
the problems with fuel cells and alternative technology were discussed.
I learned that Switch-grass, Sugar Cane, and even Hemp, are much more
efficient than Corn, but our farmers get government subsidies for
growing Corn.
What really gets me is that China is starting to produce cars for their
burgeoning market when they should be exploring alternatives to the
internal combustion engine that they could export to western countries!
