We have a living hero in our Westside neighborhood of Culver City. Chris Paine, environmentalist and documentary film maker, is the writer and director of the acclaimed documentary, \u201cWho Killed the Electric Car\u201d, and now the recently released, \u201cThe Revenge of the Electric Car\u201d. The original is a must see, and the sequel is another mega docu-hit, featuring four key individuals who are making a huge impact in this world by developing alternative energy vehicles for ultimate mass production. From cigar smoking, build it bigger and faster, Bob Lutz of General Motors finally embracing the Chevy Volt, to independent, local LA boy, Gadget\u2019s passion for converting existing cars into electric vehicles, the trials and tribulations each of the featured individuals has faced is inspiring. There\u2019s good news on the horizon though, but what an uphill battle it\u2019s been. We are thrilled to see that the auto industry is finally realizing the grand significance of the electric car after doing such a surreptitious job of destroying the EV1 in 2003. Thank you Chris for delivering another great piece that quite possibly can help change what kinds of cars we choose from now on. It\u2019s changed ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
