Thanks to Felix Karamer and Cal Cars News for bringing these to our attention.  These 3 video pieces are extremely GOOD on the subject of PHEV's and BEV's  especially the last and un-edited 17 minute interview with TESLA.

    is a national grass-roots initiative to demonstrate to automakers that a market for flexible fuel PHEVs exists today. "Forget Hydrogen, Forget Hydrogen, Forget Hydrogen". "It's a coalition between the Tree-Huggers, Do-Gooders, Sod-Busters, Cheap Hawks, and the Evangelicals". --James Woolsey, former director of the CIA. Sign the petition, watch the webcast, and spread the word. In short, a PHEV delivers all of the advantaged of a BEV while retaining the unlimited range of traditional gas vehicles. See our Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Projects Page for more information and links to everything we know about this emerging technology.

Movies

  • The 11th hour "Looks like another great film about our global crisis. I hope it comes to Seattle soon. - Dan."
I am writing to tell you about my new environmental film, "The 11th Hour". The film documents the environmental crises we face and the solutions we must begin to implement while change is still possible. Please take a look at the trailer for my film here. With the help of over fifty of the world's most prominent thinkers and activists, including reformer Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, "The 11th Hour" documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all addressed. "The 11th Hour" explores how we’ve arrived at this moment — how we live, how we impact the earth’s ecosystems, and what we can do to change our course. However, the most powerful element of "The 11th Hour" is not a portrait of a planet in crisis, but an offering of hope and solutions. The film ends with a call for restorative action through reshaping human activity. "The 11th Hour" opens on August 17th in New York and Los Angeles. On the 24th it opens in other cities and then across the country in the following weeks. It would be great if you could go see it and bring a friend.
  • An Inconvenient Truth - Feature Movie Trailer
    • Watch the trailer for 'An Inconvenient Truth'. The film eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global warming.
  • Who Killed the Electric Car? - Feature Movie Trailer Centered around the GM EV1
    • A series of interviews with experts, customers, and enthusiasts regarding the controversial decision by General Motors to kill its own brilliantly successful EV1 electric car program, which was followed quickly by the secretive, dramatic, and expensive seizure and crushing of most of the 1,100 high performance, zero emissions, gasoline-free, market ready EV1 vehicles in existence.
  • Monster Garage - Episode 77: Battery-Powered Dragster - Jesse James and a motley crew of electric vehicle experts set their sights on a battery-powered car. This build was a veritable circus of circuits as they attempted to turn a classic 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air into an electric speed machine that could do 100+ mph in the quarter mile. February 2006
  • Crude: The incredible journey of oil - I just ran across this very well put together documentary on crude oil (best I've seen so far) and I thought I would pass it along. Its long (90 minutes), but its comprehensive from formation of crude, the discovery of oil, peak oil, to the environmental/economic impact.

News Coverage

Thanks to Felix Karamer and Cal Cars News for bringing these to our attention. These 3 video pieces are extremely GOOD on the subject of PHEV's and BEV's especially the last and un-edited 17 minute interview with TESLA.

I urge you all to see the attached four part special on Auto Evolution and EVz. Aside the mandated commercials, it may give you some vision for a brighter and realistic future of ZEV World. Please pass it on and some parts maybe useful for your champagne.
