When somebody asks your opinion about what will be different in future, the answer you're going to give to that person will not be the same answer after you watch this brilliantly thought-provoking documentary.
In the recent years I became a volunteer member of the World Future Society via the U.S. based monthly magazine called Futurist. WFS is a society established in 1966 by the Baby Boomers, who had the prevailing sociological demographics of being afraid of the future and technology. Wherever and whenever the more you read and the more you make research about what's upcoming with the future, you end up finding yourself in a strictly controlled mechanism...
A strictly controlled mechanism of making people afraid of the future is a Globalism vista. This is what 99 percent of today's scientists all over the world face, as they keep running after their dreams to effectuate an EASIER LIFE for the whole world in the future.
When I say "easier life" I am daydreaming about a future with less obligations, less touch of economy in every little thing of life, less time wasted on waiting things, less time wasted on waiting your flight/waiting your bus/waiting for the traffic lights to turn green and there comes the vision of spending less time on daily transportation.
But the vision of spending less time on transportation is restricted with the Global Economy. Until the Earth's oil resources are totally drained coming to a point of depletion, the people of Earth will still be obliged to use refined petroleum to fill the gas tanks of their cars; since this Global Economy is based on the money you spend to fill out your gas tanks.
Whereas since the early 1920's Ford and General Motors have already developed the idea and possibility of running automobiles with use of electrically charged batteries. This is the initial introduction of the Electric Car in this feature documentary. The science of Electric Car has come back to development in the 1980's once more. As General Motors company developed the technology further, they have introduced their first publicized Electric Car in a 1989 fair opening. The pioneer electric car in America has been named GM-Saturn EV.1 (EV stands for Electric Vehicle).
In the late '90s in the states of California and Arizona, a total of 78 electric cars have been purchased by public. Ford Think, Ford Ranger EV, Toyoya RAV4 EV, Toyota Hybrid, Nissan Altra EV, and Honda EV Plus are the electric cars that are sold. Along the documentary, which is very nicely done through public interviews, we get to lend our ears to the satisfactions of electric car drivers.
92 minutes of running time in this documentary features two main themes:
1/ the introduction of Electric Cars and their manufacturers, principals of their engines and fuels, electric vehicle charging stations, and the EV owners
2/ the investigation of the obvious question "How come there aren't any Electric Cars in the traffic today?" that is followed by "Who did take off the cars from the traffic?"
This investigation covers every little and every crazy possibility that comes to your mind when you think of who killed the electric car:
Western States Petroleum Association, California Air Resources Board, American Petroleum Institute, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, President George W.Bush, California Fuel Cell Partnership Group, car companies, lack of marketing, emission requirements, lack of public demand.
Which one is guilty, or who is guilty? Who is behind the fact that Electric Cars are taken off the traffic?
The writer and director Chris Paine has done a great job putting together a list of suspects, as if this is a case and as if the act of justice needs to punish the guilty.
This documentary of course cannot offer solutions to what to do about this guilt. It is the mission of the American Justice System. But as long as USA doesn't approve Liberalism for its regime, no one is going to punish the guilty. Yet this is only my opinion. This professional documentary doesn't have any political stand, and it doesn't force you to anything. It is just to let you know, and let you think.
