Good interview with Mark Murphy- I'm still not sure his BugE will ever sell much in volume- most of our needs really do center around having a car- and, again, there are safety concerns with this type of vehicle that looks like a car, but is not much safer than a motorcycle- still, I like the look of it, the cost, and their vision- I do wish them success, and would consider a kit myself in the future, if only for the learning process.  Their web site is at:  http://www.bugev.net/

I went and viewed the 16 minute video from Frontline and totally agree with John- overall, it was a good video on the misteps in the alternative fuel history the US has followed- but they unfairly portrayed the Volt.  Why would they show what was just a shell and portray incompetance?  Given when this aired, they could have shown the production Volt, or even shown the youtube videos of the Volt mule running at full speed.  You would think they were just grinding an ax from the EV1 mistake of GM's.
