    • Been keeping an eye on the seismic monitor around the US West Coast since they did that big California earthquake drill last month. Sometimes that’s a warning in disguise; then today after seeing the 5.1 in SoCal, I read a few predictions about December’s upcoming full moon that jogged that thought again. More on the horizon?

     

    • Also been keeping an eye on Iceland and the vocal protests over the government’s handling of the financial collapse there. Test case scenario? People are frustrated, but word is Iceland is now that much closer to joining the EU and adopting the Euro. Here’s an article in the Chicago Tribune, updating on the current movements of several other countries towards that end as well.

A new documentary released June 28 in New York and Los Angeles, appropriately titled Who Killed The Electric Car? tries in Clue-like fashion to figure out why GM pulled the plug on its EV1 electric vehicle program, which by most accounts was approaching success when the first prototype was introduced in the mid-1990s. “It was a revolutionary, modern car, requiring no gas, no oil changes, no mufflers, and rare brake maintenance,” according to a synopsis of the film. In the 1990s a strict clean-air mandate introduced in California that called for zero-emission vehicles was what led GM to introduce the EV1. Eventually that California mandate got watered down from “zero” to “low” emissions, and the automakers decided to literally blow up their EV programs. GM, which leased out the EV1 cars it produced, called them all back after California changed its policy. The cars were crushed and shredded. Who were the people leasing these vehicles? Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson and Ted Danson, among others, many of whom appear in the movie and talk favourably about their electric cars. If the implications of an advance means loss of future business to a paradigm, the key players of that paradigm will lobby to kill it. The paradigm? Big oil. Similarly, the auto industry has an interest in perpetuating the manufacture of vehicles that require routine, costly maintenance.
