Deadpoet’s Cave

Browsing some YouTube videos, I came across the trailer for Who Killed the Electric Car?

At first, I thought it was some sort of spoof video. As I watched it, I slowly realised that it was a trailer for an actual docu-movie. I browsed the movie’s website and found a nugget of information which I’ve reproduced above.

Coming back to the issue of alternative energy sources, I’ve always wondered what it would be like if the petrol companies suddenly declare: We’re running out of oil.

It’s scary to contemplate. But it will happen. Sooner or later.
