Why do electric cars show up in the news all the time? Why is it that electric cars seem so popular these days? The reasons are short and simple: 1. Less Pollution Electric cars create less pollution than gasoline cars - period. 2. Environmentally Friendly Electric cars are environmentally friendly compared to the alternative gasoline car. This is especially true in major cities throughout the world. 3. Solutions for Environmental Destruction Environmental concerns are at all time high. Gas shortages and pollution are big news. One of the solutions is to buy an alternate to a gas polluting vehicle including an Electric car. That's it. What do you think?

Politics

Face it, we all want electric cars. We need to break the grip of politics and change the way we transport ourselves. Our enemies have control of oil and so do our domestic enemies: the oil companies. Time to revolutionize the way we do business and transition from the internal combustion engine, to the electric motor. Kind of like from the horse and buggy to the first 'horseless carriage.' It's not going to be easy, and it won't be cheap. Remember, there were electric (and steam) cars first. It was only when oil-men convinced the automotive industry that petrol was the only answer that we have had to live the last century under their control. Control that has cost more and more every year (whether adjusted for inflation or not). We have the resources and the desire to make this transition! I will do my part. Hopefully, many of you will be as inspired as I, and continue to ride the wave of the future. -CB
