Dr. Lyle Dennis writes and publishes this site. Although a full-time physician, Lyle is a highly-committed advocate for widespread use of alternative energy and petroleum displacement, and believes the adoption of this vehicle will have a tremendously positive impact both on this country and the world as a whole. Although he has some engineering background, Lyle does not in any way work for General Motors (GM) or the car industry at all.   Sat, 23 Aug 2008 18:02:39 GMT EVcast #62: Louder Cars, Stupider People http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000001+00000075#00000075 <ul> <li>Denvers Democratic EV Dog and Pony Show</li> <li>GM Voltage - 50mpg still in ICE?</li> <li>EnerDel</li> <li>Louder Cars, Stupider People</li> <li>Listener Feedback</li> </ul> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:39:48 GMT EVcast #61: Interview with a Couple of Wicked Smaht MIT Guys http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000001+00000074#00000074 <ul> <li>Interview with Jeff McAulay and Josh Siegel from the MIT EVTeam</li> <li>Lutz Relases CD of Volt (not as in compact disc)</li> <li>More on Quiet Cars</li> <li>Who is Envia?</li> <li>Listener Feedback</li> </ul> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:22:07 GMT EVcast #60: Interview with Rick Woodbury, CEO of CommuterCars http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000001+00000073#00000073 <ul> <li>Interview with Rick Woodbury, CEO of CommuterCars</li> <li>Volt Price Update (Again)</li> <li>Political Promises</li> <li>AltCar Expo - Bo and Ryan are There!</li> <li>Quite EVs and Potential Laws</li> <li>Gas Down, EV Critics Up</li> <li>TATA E-Nano?</li> <li>ZAP and Bo's Conspiricy Theory</li> </ul> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:49:08 GMT EVcast #59: Tata Motors and the "Air-Powered Car" http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000001+00000072#00000072 Tata Motors Limited is India’s largest automobile company, with revenues of Rs. 35651.48 crores (USD 8.8 billion) in 2007-08.
