Who Killed The Electric Car? – petroleum companies, greed, corrupted politcs and govements, the list is long

May be the above is correct. Yet, nothing could stop the progress. When a technology that works becomes a reality , electric cars would replace gasoline vehicles in a matter of five years or so.

Or, when the electric car technology becomes more profitable than gasoline vehicles, new would replace old in a matter of five years or so.

While you jest, the oil companies’ “plot” is very transparent. And Atlantis is basically where they live. Henry Ford originally developed a water based engine. Estimates are that if that technology had been released instead of the petrol based engine (since fuel efficiency with a water based engine does not benefit anyone’s bottom line) mileage would be close to 100 to over 3,000 mpg of water OR GREATER. Much of that would have been synthesizing electric with a water engine! With an electric car, you still need to plug it in so some oil, coal, natural gas, etc is being burned somewhere to gain that charge.
So the next generation is a water based engine. You can actually find the technology rediscovered on YouTube. Look up “water based engine” and “water powered car.”

Going to drive the new Nissan Leaf tomorrow! I’m excited!
It only gets 100 miles per charge and takes 8 hrs to charge (hmmm) … but I guess it’s a start.

Electric Car it the future!

No matter what hurdles or failures happen all of us will drive purely Electric Cars or hybrids in 30 years or so

It seems with the 300+ mile enhanced battery and a solar power recharging station, you could have the perfect vehicle.
Those batteries looked extremely thin and efficient. You could easily put 8 of them together instead of a traditional engine and you’d have space left over. Then you could go across the country without ever recharging.
The ultimate solution is for our money to be based on Earth’s Resources (kind of like a Gold Standard … but with ALL resources) instead of based upon debt/interest repayment, we would not have this Oil Economy. Our current system turns money into a commodity instead of simply a medium for exchange.
Who killed the Electric Car? The Federal Reserve. They are the silent killer of ALL humanitarian technologies.

I found this very good information. I am only 15 right now so I wasn’t really aware of all this while it was happening, but so where many adults as the video said. I find this just another example of corporate greed in the world. Also the video may of said it but I forget. Why did GM take the cars away? Just say why and I’ll get an email saying ur answer.

Holding back progress for a buck, no surprise there. Jobs are a thing of the past. What people have to realize is technology is going forward no matter what. Ever heard of the contradiction of capitalism or technological unemployment? The problem is we are clinging to old ideals that are no longer valid and the result is what you see today. Every system that is important to life is on a decline.

The air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat has been all going to sh*t. We need to start taking an objective look at our old practices and coming up with new ideals that would be far more beneficial for the world instead of a select few.

The sad thing and also understandable is people can’t see past their immediate needs. So why they try to do the best they can with what they have, they don’t do anything about the thing that put them and will most likely put their kids in the same situation.

GEO…POLITICS!!!!

If we eliminated oil dependency… I would LOVE to see how that changes the game in the Middle East.

Of course, the question would now be… lithium. And according to what I’ve read, Bolivia could be the 21st century’s Saudia Arabia in that respect. Unfortunately, they are not too keen on US policy right now and furthermore, are quite friendly with Iran. Reportedly, even supplying them with uranium.

Did I mention China has a pretty decent supply of lithium, as well?

Oil or lithium… choose your poison, I guess. Seems like a catch-22.

@DD,
I am one of those who agree with you completely. Its not like electricity is an abundant natural resource. A very insignificant portion of electricity generated today is from renewable resources. So you still need to burn something to get electricity. I donno why that would be hard to figure out for oil company executives. They can still maintain the control on society. I couldn’t think of any other motivations.
