interesting videos. i'm now hypermiling in my honda hx, and currently getting 63mpg. is that your daughter on top of the saturn ev1?

I really think like you,

But oke, we live in holland.. and we have these EU rules and Dutch rules about cars. And they are like 100 times heavier then american car rules.

We cannot place an electric motor in a regular car.
We have this weight rule.. And you as electric car expert know that electric cars weight more.. And Our rules say: The car isn't build for that weight so.. NO. And electric cars are really strange for the RDW ( the place you let your car check to be legal on the road ).

These rules make even a DC conversion really diffucult. And we can't buy a Rav4ev or an EV1. We just have no choice.. and that's what bothers me.

im for living oil free, after we suck everyone else dry!

Great info Doug,
If someone just has the guts to steal the patent & make a proper battery, it should be done. That is simple ethics. How bad would Chevron look if the lawsuit hit mainstream media? (If) Public outcry could make the case go away, or at a minimum Chevron would sell the patent. This is America, if people stop being brainwashed by hydrogen and ethanol, we could move into th 21st century finally. And don't mind that Jimmy idiot. I have three cars. A Scion Xa, a Gen II Prius awaiting funding for plug in mods, and an 87 Buick GN (the other great car that GM killed) with 400hp for clowns like Jimmy. Of course the Buick gets the worst mpg. But how can I complain about a 400hp car that gets 24mpg. It also has fewer emission than any current GM when I run on Ethanol.
Being Green & taking money away from terrorist can be fun.

Hello Doug,

Its been 10 years since the Rav4EV and EV1 were killed, but how long will the pattent Chevron is using last for anyway?

Is there an alternative way of using the chemicals of that battery (perhaps even improving on the design) that would allow a battery manufacturer to avoid being sued over this decade old pattent?

if we lived oil free, the trade centers would probably still be there, but the middle east would be a terrorist superpower. idk...

Just dropping in to say keep up the good work. I think the film, (and your participation of course) has really helped with awareness. I can only pray that all this talk about for instance the "Volt" pans out. However, like you say in your youtube vids, I am not going to put much enthusiasm into it. They already have a lot of the technology available and are choosing to ignore it. It is because the money isn't in selling someone a battery as energy storage. Bush offered the money for "Hydrogen" because then the oil companies can make profit off of producing hydrogen. Maybe that is why Alan Lloyd switched to the hydrogen pipe dream, cause if it works out he could get some royalties or something. The whole thing di
