Looks like another corporate giant farting around with anything BUT a useful EV1 type electric car. How much is Exxon/Chevron paying these companies to NOT produce a small efficient electric car that would work well for most of us? This thing is basically a joke and hoax to keep us from having a real vehicle.

Regardless of how many trillions of barrels of oil there are out there, it will eventually run out. And regardless of the precise causes of global warming, this nation must begin to wean itself off of cars powered only by internal combustion engines. We must begin to look beyond the next fiscal quarter of profits and to the long range future. I doubt that we will ever learn. Jimmy Carter tried in the late seventies and in walks a B movie bad cowboy actor and made us all feel warm and fuzzy and set up an era of ignoring our energy situation. Americans are fat, stupid, and lazy and do not want to hear about peak oil or global warming because, god forbid, they might have to sacrifice some of their couch potato comforts. I now ride an electric assist hybrid bicycle to work every day. I got it a Walmart for $350. It gets a carbon equivalent of 1800 miles per gallon. My commute is very short but there are many others in this area of Dallas who could also do this. Regardless of where we are with oil or where we are going with oil, it feels very good to say "gotohell, Exxon" every morning when I go to work. Maybe I am only one small insignificant person but I am getting 1800 per gallon instead of 25.
