If we survive the Worlf War III, at some point, I am very sure that you can only find gasoline produced from the prehistoric biomass deposits in the museums. Remember ultimate truth never exsits. Today's truth will not be tomorrow's truth. So use your "never" word carefully next time.

The Ev1's were produced and leased to consumers in California and driven on American roads up until the last one was taken back from consumers in 2005 and shreaded like paper. The consumers did not have the option to buy. These customers loved their EV1's dearly. Customers fought tooth and nails to keep their beloved EV-1's!! The oil companies wasn't standing for pure electric vehicles and Gm caved. Gm then sold the rights to the American made battery to Texaco! Now Gm is again launching an EV. But This time, They will be importing the batteries for our american cars from Japan. Go figure!!

Will we ever see the "bill" repaid in our life time, our children's life time or our grandchildren's life time? That is the 64 trillion dollar question.
