i know who killed the electric car.

Finishing "Who Killed the Electric Car?" today in class made me realize how stupid and corrput the world is. And I got mad. Okay, so I already KNEW many people in the world were stupid and corrupt, but this only confirmed my assumptions. This is a generalized statement of course, but I think it applies to enough people to make it okay for me to say it.
It is obvious to me that most of the blame for the death of the electric car should be put on the oil companies and our most excellent government. Hello, the oil companies don't care about the environment. They care about their moolah. They care that Americans have an obsession with "bigger is better" and are overjoyed that many people are becoming "I must have a bigger car" zombies. Since the oil companies control just about everything, with our country so reliant on them and all, the automobile industry and government can't get them angry. So basically I see it as a funnel, starting with the oil company > government > automobile industry > state government like the california air resources board > consumers the end. I just can't see how the car companies could have the nerve to claim that consumers didn't want to electric car! How could they say such a thing when they have proof against them smacked right in front of their face? Talk about a bitch slap, mofo! I guess they just wanted everyone to know they are liars and idiots. Those EVs had the shortest stint ever on the market. They didn't even have a chance for consumers to even "reject" them as the industry claims. I didn't even know about these cars. The EV's seem too good to be true, which bugs me even more because the car companies are blatant liars. Rawr. And the inventor of the battery (I forgot his name) had a new battery that would increase the range- if that's what people had issues with, which I suspect wasn't really as big of a deal as the car compaines made it out to be. I couldn't believe that GM chose to manufacture Hummers instead of EVs. It just doesn't make logical sense. Maybe it's because I have a personal gripe with Hummers. Living in Hawaii, there are no need for Hummers. At all. They're hard to park, slow(ish), and gas guzzlers TO DA MAX! So what if they have bling bling? Do you really need to crush other puny cars? No. But the gangstas on TV have the 23's and chrome spinners or whatever they're called and put them on their huge escalades. BALLIN! And that's why I can't really blame the consumers themselves because its society and the automobile industry that is warping everyone's minds. We're all like little puppets.
The government might as well be sacks of rice. Domesticate oil by drilling in an Alaskan natural reserve? That controversy was around for awhile. The video reported that drilling could only sustain our oil needs for a year. Then what? Bush was so amazed by hydrogen fuel cells... well too bad that won't make its debut until at least 20 years from now. I guess that's how you can describe his thinking- don't try to solve the problem NOW but claim there there is progress making technological advances for "the future".
What I didn't get was why was this whole thing only going on in California? Why don't other states adopt the Zero Emissions Mandate? Sure it's the biggest state and all, but it's not like air pollution and CO2 emission is only a problem there. It's a huge concern everywhere? Were EV-1s only made there? Prior to this film I had never heard of an EV-1 in my life. I didn't even know that general motors was doing on this shady stuff. Am I the only one?
Well, even if I don't know what I am talking about, because I'm probably only rambling and complaining here, one thing I know for sure is that I am not going to buy a car from general motors. Japanese Hybrids oh and Ford hybrids too! (yes I know they are more expensive, but the cost is worth it!)
