Perhaps you&#8217;ve seen the acclaimed 2006 documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car? and are outraged that existing technology for making zero-emission vehicles was squelched by political maneuvering. In 2003, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) killed the effort to produce electric cars and instead put into place a research program to investigate hydrogen fuel cell technology. Thousands of electric vehicles on the roads, were wrangled away from their tearful lease-holders and destroyed. Today a little over 1000 electric cars remain on the road. On March 27th, CARB will meet to once again decide on the fate of Electric cars, or so-called Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). At issue is the original goal of auto makers producing 75,000 zero-emission vehicles between 2012 and 2017. <\/p>\n<p>CARB will meet starting at 9 am at 1001 I Street, Sacramento. <\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pluginamerica.org\">www.pluginamerica.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Chelsea Sexton, executive director of Plug In America Perhaps you are one of millions of Californians concerned about smog pollution, global warming, and fossil fuel consumption.
