Electric Vehicle Vigil at GM Burbank plant
An ongoing vigil at General Motors' Burbank facility is entering day four. Vigil participants, supported by a broad coalition of climate protection and clean-air organizations, are demanding that GM rescue these zero-emissions vehicles, return them to California drivers and restart its all-electric vehicle program.
Additionally, the group would like GM to: 1.)Stop dismantling and crushing the EV1s and offer the remaining cars for sale or on open-end lease. 2.)Restart their electric vehicle engineering efforts with a goal of offering fully electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles with at least 20 mile all-electric range, by 2008. 3.)Increase GM overall average fleet fuel economy to 50 mpg by 2010 and build an entire fleet of zero emissions vehicles by 2020 (MotorTrend)

More people should learn about electric vehicles as a solution. "Zero emissions" is something that's going to be required by law one day (you know it will). Making the decision to go electric is far cheaper anyway, like 10 cents on the dollar vs. gas. (source: zapworld.com)
