Technology & New Inventions

There is a wonderful documentary that I cannot find on YouTube in Full

It’s called “Who killed the electric car?”

Find it. See it. Do not bother with the follow up “Revenge of…” It was bogus.

The film explores the roles of automobile manufacturers, the oil industry, the federal government of the United States, the California government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, andconsumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology.
