Seriously....
If GM owns the patents on the EV-1 electric car, can't the United States use the "eminent domain" doctrine to, in the public interest, nullify the patent, put all the designs in the public domain, and let all those wonderfully innovative American inventors out there work at beating the last remaining obstacles and putting it into production?
They probably wouldn't even have to compensate GM much, if at all, since GM has decided not derive any revenue from developing it.

If there is a "little box" that can turn a rabbit ears tv into a digital ready tv for the 2009 change over for cheap, there is no reason someone creative cannnot invent something that can be put in a car's engine or in the fuel tank or wherever to accept an alternate fueling/power source...for cheap.

there's a stock I'm looking to buy in the next few days, called ZAAP (ticker name). Companies are buying it's electric trucks for deliveries.
It's selling for .59 cents a share on the NYSE. Some sultans from Dubai have been buying up shares of it. I can pick up 500 shares for around $260 and just leave it in the portfolio, and the company is making money.
last isue of Forbes the auto analyst Jerry Flint says he believes there will be no US owned auto makers left in around three years, like Britain has no British automakers left.
I don't think GM can retool itself or make the transition over to electric.

Don, if I could find any affordable way (right now I can't afford much of anything) to make my car run on a battery, electricity, water, hell my dog's poop, I'd do it. This country needs an alternative energy source and quickly.
