[ausev] Anyone seen a WKTEC flyer?

[Erik Bigelow]

It's been a while since I've written anything for public consumption,
but I'd appreciate any feedback you can give on the flyer. Grammar,
spelling, content, tone, anything. I tried to only write things I could
back up with several references and leave any of the real conspiracy
theory sounding bits, (even if an oil company buying a successful
battery patent is a little fishy) but still create some desire to see
the movie. If you like it please feel free to use it as you see fit. 

Though it pains me to bring up, I can't think of any problem with
posting flyers in places where they are allowed, like the kiosks at UT.
Any other good spots? I have some break rooms with bulletin boards up
where I work.

Below is the text of the Word document I created. I can email the file
to anyone interested, but I don't think I can send attachments to the
list.

Who Killed the Electric Car?

[pic of EV-1] a documentary by Chris Paine

The EV-1 was GM's answer to California's Zero Emissions Vehicle law. It
was quiet, efficient and required almost no maintenance. As a pure
electric vehicle, it had a one speed transmission, no motor oil to
change, and regenerative braking almost eliminated brake system
maintenance. With a range over 120 miles, it met more than 90% of
America's daily driving needs as the total average daily distance is
just 29 miles. Given its 0-60 time of less than 9 seconds, the EV-1 was
no slouch.

In 2005 GM had all of them crushed save a few for universities and
museums. Come find out Who Killed the Electric Car. Shows starting
Friday, July 28th at the Arbor Cinema in the Gateway shopping center.


Consider this - 
-Overall CO2 emissions for electric vehicles are less than half that of
a comparable gas car
-Total cost of ownership for an electric vehicle has been calculated as
lower than a gas car by several university and federal studies.
-Oil companies are in the midst of record profits, and Exxon has
recently become the largest public company in the world.

It's a bit late, but we have a small invitation sheet (about the size of
a
large notecard) that we planted in a few places at the theater.  Aaron
has
the design, but may not be reading his email any more tonight...
