I saw this film a couple of weeks ago and have been telling everyone I know to go and see it. What the auto industry, the oil companies, the Bush administration, and all the other usual suspects did to stop the rise of the electric car is both a travesty and a tragedy.

Who Killed the Electric Car tells the story in an entertaining and compelling way, and although it will make you angry, the film also shows that the technology exists, now, to produce a viable electric car, so it ends on an optimistic note.

As someone with a lifelong aversion to cars, I never thought I could be moved to tears by the sight of a car being crushed, but the footage of all those perfectly good--and, as Jon Stewart noted last night, really cool-looking--cars being pulverized was so appalling it made me cry.

Please, see this movie and bring your friends!
