As some of you might know I sometimes be a grumpy old fox when it comes to certain things. This time its the subject of electric vehicles. I recently took an interest in them after watching Who Killed The Electric Car (And because gasoline is now over €1.50 (8 USD/Gallon)).

To make a long story short, I suggest you watch the movie. Its actually a quite sad tale, but also a very good example how big oil and big money can in fact kill good innovative ideas. If you do manage it through the movie, I suggest you also watch the TED talk Shai Agassi's bold plan for electric cars (Spoiler: Things are getting better!). If you're already familiar with TED you will know how Godlike it is, and if not you'll be in for a treat!
Oh, and I should also mention that I recently invested in an electric scooter (Does 55 km/h silently, ya!), proving first-hand that its not just a lot of fancy talkin', it words great IRL!
*Meeps*
