Would like to see someone investigate and bring to light the EV-1 electric car GM developed and successfully tested by consumers a few years ago. I was introduced to it in the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car". Seems like the technology already exists for a plug-in but was shelved because of pressure from the oil industry, our government and GM's own management. It appeared that the battery question had been resolved as well, but this technology was eventually bought and put on the shelf by none other than Chevron. If all this is true, why are the American taxpayers bailing out a business that turned its back on its own successful development of a "green" vehicle and continued to produce non-competitive, gasoline engine cars? All this "bailout" money is coming out of my and my children's and grandchildren's pockets. Personally, I feel when the car companies (or any other private enterprises) are no longer financially viable, THEY HAVE FAILED BECAUSE THEIR BUSINESS PLAN WAS FLAWED and they should file bankruptcy. It is not the public's responsibility. They will fail in any event uless they change to meet a changing market (i.e., Chrysler). Better to face the music early and accept responsibility for their decisions--that is what individuals must do. Would appreciate a response if possible.
