   SubaruSubaru will make 'em rue (hehey) the day they killed the electric car Ana.
   Al Gore's movie has not even made it to the sticks here yet, have to wait for the DVD on this one.  No wonder the intelligentsia flyover.

   EVs: 40% less pollution, 100% more fun!I learned about EVs after using electric golf cars to shuttle pedestrians starting in 1986. My first EV book, about converting one's own car to battery power, convinced me that I could segue from bicycle-commuting to zero-emission vehicles without regrets.
   
   I followed GM's development of the EV1 almost from its inception, and finally got a chance to rent and drive one in early 2000. The car put a grin on my face that wouldn't go away (finding out that GM wouldn't sell me one did the trick.)
   
   I've been EVangelizing ever since, and am thrilled to now be able to foresee the day that I can buy a major-maker EV. The grin is back!

   Great Interview
   
      Perhaps the ultimate question will be "what killed the American Car Companies" and the answer will be "supressing the EV">
      Car companies in Europe, Japan and China (among others) are all working on cheaper reduced emission vehicles.  I am not a car fan (Yikes!  Bikes!), but they certainly are part of the solution.
