As a condition of bailing out the Big 3 Automakers, the Democrats want to control what kind of cars are made. A few years ago the State of California, in its infinitesimal wisdom, told the car companies they had to make a car with no emissions. The companies complied with the law and here's how that worked out . . .

<p>One of the Big Ideas that's gotten a boost from the recent oil price shock is the notion that the energy for transportation should come from the electric grid, not an oil well in the Middle East.</p> <p>A number of big, established car makers have announced plans to produce cars that will pull from the electric grid all or part of the energy needed to make them go. They join a flock of upstart companies, such as Tesla Motors, trying to prosper by defining a new generation of mobility technology starting with a blank sheet of paper - or rather a blank video display screen.</p>

The EV1 may be dead and buried, but the electric car that once roamed California freeways is still haunting General Motors Corp. The Detroit auto giant is the reluctant "star" of the biting documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" which chronicles one fateful slice of California's effort to force automakers to develop cleaner vehicles for the state's smog-afflicted residents. The film, which opened in limited release last month, takes aim at several major automakers including Ford Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. But GM receives by far the worst bashing for its decision to terminate the EV1...

I love going to Apple's website and watch the trailers for upcoming films. The other day, I ran across one for a documentary that's opening June 30th called Who Killed the Electric Car? According to the trailer, GM came out with what would hopefully become a commercially viable electric car in 1996. But after a few years, it pretty much disappeared, never to be heard from again. No surprise, the trailer flat-out accuses the oil companies and George W. Bush (is there anything this man isn't guilty of in the minds of liberals?) of quashing the electric car in the...

HOUSTON BASED INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER TOUTS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT WHILE APPARENTLY HOSTING TERROR, PORN, AND SPAM SITES  Jeremy Reynalds, June  20, 2005, JoyJunction.com __________ Houston-based Internet service provider Everyone's Internet could be regarded as an example of the American dream come true.        Founded by brothers Robert Marsh and Roy Marsh III, and Randy Williams, EV1 began operating on Dec.1 1998.

Islamist Terror Via the American InternetBy Lee KaplanFrontPageMagazine.com | August 10, 2004 When the Internet was created in the early 1990s, almost everyone was excited. This would become the new media, a true marketplace of ideas, where unlimited freedom of speech was possible and political correctness was thrown out the window. Still, few people would have thought that in less than a decade the Internet would become a security nightmare. Today, perhaps because of the very nature of a truly free marketplace of ideas itself, the Internet has become a propaganda and recruiting tool for terror groups like Al Qaeda –...

The connections spread into Houston, where links to a foreign airline and two addresses are unexplained. They haunt Dallas, where a tangle of odd business involving an Internet service provider caused the United States to shut down its largest Islamic charity. Of about 370 suspects on the list, 24 are...
