Some people are trying to force a change, but sadly big oil will probably win out in the end...

Electricity can be produced by other methods ie: wind or wave power and as the wheels of a car rotate it can generate its own electricity, a grid has also been invented that goes in the road so when vehicles run over it electricity is generated.

Surely the point is to generate electricity by some other means.
The energy received by the earth from the sun in 23 days is the equivalent of the projected total non-renerwable sources of coal and oil.

A few interesting clips regarding the electric car.

I can post lots more, but you can easily find them if you look for them.

This is not made up stuff. It is just sad...







Any ideas how we can change the world would be appreciated.
