Who Killed the Electric Car??

This evening I sat down to watch TV after dinner and flipping through the channels I caught the last 30 minutes of a documentary called "Who Killed the Electric Car?". It was most interesting and most disturbing. I learned things that I didn't know, and made me wonder how much most of us really know. I highly recommend this documentary, I believe it's available on DVD as well.
I am quite the cynic when it comes to policy in our government. I have lost faith in the decisions made by those that we the people have elected. It's very disturbing to learn that our planet is being ravished of its natural resources and beauty, while a great deal could have been done to prevent or slow down the process decades ago. Yet those in positions of power have the means to dampen any efforts.
What are we going to do about it? Well that's the burning question and there is no easy or simple answer. I believe that a change in consciousness and attitude is a good start. Perhaps we cannot change how the big machine of government and power works but we can all certainly start making a small difference within ourselves and close ones.
This blog is my way of helping myself to become motivated to make whatever change , in order to contribute something, however small to our planet and to everyone in it.
This blogs intent is to share with others a common thread, beyond borders or race or beliefs.
