Addicted to Oil - Part 3 of 5

turning around> 'dependent on oil' 2 'dependent on terrorists' (that you guys funded too)

arabs don't hate you people. we love you but the way you come to our countries and judge us, while your own economic health AND juristriction system is constantly failing next to this perfect media example of how to blame the world for using 80% of the energy sources...

GM: "electric vehicle was a huge flop; nobody wanted to buy it".

For a highly revealing ànd common sense documentary, which basically proves the opposite, watch 'Who killed the electric car'.

I'm glad Wagoner is gone as GM CEO, no market for an electric car, but hydrogen is the answer. The knock against bio-diesel is it takes more energy to grow it than you get out of it, does anyone know the energy in/energy out numbers for switchgrass? I'd like to become a fuel farmer...

Nobody wanted to buy it?!? I DID but they would not sell me one!

No place to charge it? I have electricity in my house.

The only thing I am not buying is GM's excuses and B.S.

I love how the excuse is there was no place to recharge them, then he says that Hydrogen was a good call. So where do you refuel with hydrogen. Oh, you'll build the pumps? Why don't you just build the recharge stations? Lies. They can't sell you solar electricity but once. Hydrogen is expensive! Answer.

It was also largly contributed to the fact that after the EV1 came out SOMEHOW the government started offering large tax credits to truck and suv purchases. so there was an even larger incentive to not market fuel efficient cars.

Wow!  If I didn't know better I would say that the gov't was in the pockets of Big Oil!

Come on, Richard Wagoner, "No one wanted to buy" the EV1? People would have bought it if it was actually put out for sale rather than lease only!! And 100% lease at that!! That's why your little company is going bankrupt now. That should teach you to look forward a little longer than 6 months into the future. Try 6 years next time...if there is a next time for you.

You should get an electric conversion. I bought one from a guy in Georgia. It's great! I need new batteries, but it still goes 20 to 30 miles between charges! It recharges in about 4-6 hours. The EV1 went 165 miles per charge. For me that would be about 2 charges per week or LESS. That's about $30 per month in electricity. It makes a high sticker price look cheap!

I wanted to buy an EV-1 but they would not sell me one......
