I'm not usually a paranoid conspiracy theory wacko, but then I read stuff like this[ocweekly.com]. Yet another tale of oil companies being in cahoots with car companies in cahoots with politicians (and electric companies too somewhere in there), all over electric cars and one man's attempt to keep his. I previously never thought of owning an electric car, now I'd seriously consider it. And when I own a house I'd like to install solar panels and watch the electric meter run backwards :-)
