1. The Stonecutters, according to their song

"Who holds back the electric car,
Who made Steve Gutenburg a star?

We do!

We do!"

3. This is upsetting! I knew we had the technology. Great Post..Thanks

It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?This is sooo upsetting! What or Who is holding us back? I heard we don't get our'latest technology,it is sold to other countries.Check this out!"The new Toyota Prius is sold in many countries around the world with the option of letting the driver select times when they would prefer to operate the car without the engine running. The intention is to allow the driver to move the car out of the garage, or even out of the neighborhood, without the engine starting to awaken others. It is also a wonderful way to demonstrate the capabilities of the hybrid powertrain to passengers learning about the system for the first time. This factory option is currently not available for buyers in North America although the programming for it is still included in the computers which control the hybrid system" .. read more :kick: http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/whokilledtheelectriccar/trailer/
