My favourite are The Office (UK)… I just think it’s absolute genius and Extras is brilliant.

Then it’d be this and Curb. All absolute comedy gold.

Can I bring Ann?
Who?

not even bloopers but funny moments!

1. Only fools and horses
2. Arrested devolpment
3. Faulty towers
4. Its always sunny in philelphia

these shows keep me alive.

This movie. GUILTY. The world does not revolve around California. The ME state. All about ME.

No data is ever mentioned in this documentary. BTW, NiMH batteries, nor any other technology is sufficient for the energy (duration) needed to run a pure EV for 300 mi. No mention of how much this technology costs for what little it does vs. conventional alternatives. Last time I checked, this a free market and this does not compete economicaly.

Has anybody mentioned the cycle life of batteries? They more you recharge and discharge the sooner you shorten the life of the batteries. Lead acid batteries need to be replaced every 3 years at a cost of ? Not mentioned. There’s a whole field of them in the back of the EV1.

NiMH batteries? $1500-5000 per pack. Life span? 8-10 years per calendar life, 3 years with daily use. Average car life cradle to grave: 15 years. Not my problem, let’s blame someone else when they are old. Lithium ion? even shorter and more expensive, plus like Sony’s laptop batteries, explode when uncomfortable. Then you have to recycle them or will people?

How about a manual transmission car driven properly with either biofuels and driven properly? Enviros are too lazy to learn the whole picture and understand physics and learn how to drive properly and efficiently like Europeans do. The automatic transmission throws away 8% efficiency off the engine power because it is not direct drive. The CVT wastes the same at highway speeds. A Prius would be more efficient if it was a manual clutch gearbox, but greenies are too lazy to learn how to drive properly and efficiently. They want a remote control and the ability to blame the manufacturer when it does not get 50 mpg.

Why on earth would the oil companies not support a business model that makes them sustainable? Electric does not do that. Why would they support it? Common sense. Do you really expect otherwise?

Does the car industry see a business model that can make them money even with economies of scale. No, not until battery technology improves.

An automatic Volvo gets the same mileage as an SUV, are these attacked? No. What’s the difference, both are owned by smug, wasteful people. Oh, one had good intentions that don’t matter.

Daytime running lights waste fuel, are annoying to other drivers, have absolutely no quantified benefit through any study that was not funded by safety activists, car companies, or lighting manufacturers. in fact, they are proven to increase safety issues, as they distract drivers focal points. Are there any efforts against this? No, this movie is worried too much about intentions rather than actions.

No mention of ethanol and biofuels and their benefits and issues. Too convenient.

Get a clue then make a movie.

A good example of people will believe anything from Hollywood.

BTW, I drive fuel efficient cars and find most of the automotive greenness to be uneducated. Take a Skip Barber course and learn how to drive, before pontificating.
