Seems like after the gas lines of the late 70's they might have at least had a plan for this. No it's always "we have a prototype, it'll be out in 3-5 years." I've been reading this for 15 years now. They had, can't remember who made it, an electric car. People who leased them loved them. After all the leases were up they canceled them and took them out to the desert and crushed them. And they did this why?

Yeah I've read about this too. But not all the cars got destroyed...some people fought the car companies and got to keep theirs...bring back the electric car I say! I'm sure that originates problems all its own...nothing is perfect. Battery charging, volume capacity, autonomy...
Here is a link to an article on the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?"

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
