Summary: General Motors Blew It!
Comment: The film reminded me about another movie, "Tucker, the Man and His Dream" which also tells of a better car that was pushed off the market by those who want "free enterprise" but only for themselves, not their would-be competitors.
In our capitalist system, General Motors is, like any other publicly-held corporation, supposed to be in business to make money for its stockholders. In killing the EV-1, General Motors put the interests of the oil companies ahead of its shareholders. Less than a year ago, before the current spike in oil prices, GM's stock was over $35 a share. Today it is at $10. If GM had kept making EV-1 for those people who wanted them, they would have owned the automobile market today and their stock price would be through the roof! Talk about short-sightedness.

Summary: Who indeed...
Comment: I sat with my jaw hanging during this video. I am one who does not like to subscribe to conspiracy theories since they leave so many of us disempowered... however there is no denying the facts of this film. General Motors is applauded for their work on an electric vehicle today. Where is the outcry for their blatant disregard for the common good in the past when they destroyed their own product in order to keep their pockets lined and to keep us dependent on fossil fuel?
Customer Rating:
Summary: watch this DVD or suffer the consequences
Comment: Paranoid about the role of big oil in keeping us dependent on oil and foreign oil in particular (Big Oil has offshore bank accounts loaded with cash) Their power in your daily life is immense Watch the story of the EV1
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is the real business world
Comment: Very thought provoking and a very timely topic. The topic this movie addresses, is very important when considering everything from...
1. Buying a car
2. Choosing a church to attend
3. Electing county school board members
4. Electing a U.S. President
Detroit (US Auto Industry Exec's) have made their own bed. Now they want us to bail them out. This is an argument to put more engineers in office in Washington.

Summary: Sad truth about our country's addiction to monetary profits
Comment: I had never even HEARD of the EV1, and I was living in Michigan (home of GM) during the time those cars were released. I wish that these cars could have gotten more support from their makers (and that they could have made a 4 seater)! And its too bad that better technology exists, but politics keep it out of the public's hands. This is an excellent, eye opening movie for anyone who hates car pollution.
