Magda,
Yes I've seen the movie,and my last post was just a big rant.I understand what you all are saying.Things are different for some people though.There is a big difference if you live in the city,or in the countryside.I don't live in cities,and most people who don't use/need trucks that can haul heavy loads(firewood,lumber,hay etc.)It's a 130 mile round trip just for me to see my doctor at the VA.Twice that if I have to go to the Portland VA.I am totally for a non polluting electric car,but it's not practical for some.Another thing that bothers me is if we shift to more and more electricy,it will only boost the Nuclear Power lobbies.I hope to hell we never build another one here in the US.People fought hard to dismantal the Nukes in the Northwest,and I'm proud that we have none out here now.But yes,build them electric cars.They would be great for city folk.Like everything else nothing is just black and white,their are many shades of grey.Anyways,my rant was mainly about the elites,who talk smack about the UAW,and gas guzzlers,and then jump in their big ass SUVs'.The image that burns in my eyes is when Hillary Clinton was to have her meeting with Obama,and the press was all there at her mansion,and she drives away in her BIG BLACK SUV,followed by her escourt of another three BIG BLACK Suvs'.OK,sorry for ranting.
