re: Everybody knows this so why doesn't it happen?
Maybe it will take people like me, who wants to build an electric car(I still want to build my electric bug). If enough of us do it, maybe we can show the country it works. Maybe it is up to the public to kick the government and big buisness in the butt to get their attention.
Still, if we are getting our electricity to power the cars, from buring oil, then we have not changed things much.
How about a homemade wind generator to supply power for the electric car?
