Electric Cars and ZAP Under Attack!

All through history those that try to implement change have been attacked. In attempts to discredit AC power, Thomas Edison electrocuted stray dogs and cats with AC current. Copernicus was viciously attacked in his attempt to prove that the sun was the center of the solar system and that all planets revolved around the sun. Al Gore and the United Nations' team of scientists whom won the Nobel Peace Prize are being attacked since they came out with their studies indicating that the dangers of global warming are real. It has been well documented that journalists are being paid to discredit the danger of global warming, and to degrade the benefits of electric cars. However, these articles are becoming more and more present, and more and more personal. http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2008-03/how-electric-cars-could-re-arrange-grid http://environment.newscientist.com/channel/earth/dn13418-thirsty-electric-cars-threaten-water-resources.html We can only surmise who is behind these general and personal attacks. Big Oil and Big Auto could not pick better friends. History some times repeat itself. The Tucker Automobile was attacked because they implemented safety features and performance standards before they were mandated. ZAP was founded to revolutionize transportation, to create cost effective solutions to create no polluting electric vehicles.
