HOTWIRE, HOTSTUFF, HOTBOARD...whatever! Basically this is the Home Page extension. A cynical Michael Caine might have called it: "NOT MANY PEOPLE (want you to) KNOW THAT"
In Moira Turns Heads and Sucks Amps, follow EVUK team member's EV crusade...from initial Enlightenment via public access internet at fun-throbbing Willesden library...all the way to electric RrrEVelation on the Streets of San Francisco. She also gets to chat in the flesh with Hollywood actor/environmentalist/ZEV campaigner, Ed Begley Jr, recently immortalised as Bill Clinton's right-hand man (see pic) in Simpsons' Hollywood escapade...
"The Visionary Pressconn" (see article, homepage).
We are
getting emails from far-flung places expressing genuine admiration for
Pressconn's brave eco-vision: IF ONLY!!! Press. Conn. Helloooo? Welcome to
the world of spoof and satire, folks...
"You Can Tell World Leaders By Their Cars":
According to Jonathan Glancey, writing in Detnews, Tony Blair's choice of a Ford Galaxy people-carrier 'shows loyalty to family, the United States, Middle England and the Third Way..'. To us at EVUK, it's also yawningly symptomatic of a Middle England, middle aged - not so much technophobia - as techno-distaste and cultivated techno-cluelessness , especially in respect of those innovative, sustainable technologies which really should be second nature to any politician elected to lead us into the 21st Century.
Darling of crank&piston, maximum emissions car-porn junkie-dom , Jeremy Clarkson, dusts off his 1995 EV fact-sheet and in a near-tantric rant tells us where/how to get off. The UK media's EV-rebuttal, rapid-response force is legendary and never fails to entertain/amuse...(EVUK tip: for journalistic integrity on environmental/pollution issues we recommend - in this century - the Times of India (see homepage).
Jeremy Clarkson of course hates, with a vengeance, the 'vegetarian' electric vehicle lobby...here, in classic 'headless chicken' denial mode, he tells anyone who's still listening that he's never heard of/driven the Nissan Altra(Bibendum Challenge winner, 120 miles per charge), the second Generation GM EV1 (140+ mpc),the Solectria Force and Sunrise(see Guinness Book of Records), the Ford e-Ka (100 mpc) etc. etc. ...and that the 60 percent of UK householders who have off-road parking should obviously all prefer to queue up at an aromatic filling-station and purchase £14-£20 of petrol to drive 120 miles...rather than pay the £1.50 it costs to recharge the
Nissan from home. Obviously.
ENJOY!!:
