Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a must read for anyone concerned about transportation, the environment and public policy. The book goes far deeper than the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car in explaining what the author calls "the open door conspiracy" going on between Big Oil, Big Automotive and the U.S. Department of Energy. From the eyes of an engineer but written in plain English, the book shows how instead of moving toward all electric vehicles, we are being held back by corporations who want to preserve the internal combustion engine and their precious liquid fuels. There are pictures showing working electric cars still on the road today. We are being duped into paying far too much for running our cars and it's happening right in front of us. The book includes links to sites with form letters that can be customized and sent to local, state and federal representatives. I recommend everyone to get this book and take action now so we can really pay 2 cents a mile and end the burden of importing energy. I already mailed my letters!

The Collapse of Common Sense: Preservation of Big Oil and the Big Three Automakers. In 2003 "FreedomCAR" (Freedom Cooperative Automotive Research) was created as a public-private partnership between the United States Department of Energy, BP America, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Shell Hydrogen, and The United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR - a partnership among Daimler/Chrysler, Ford Motor Company and General Motors). What are the oil and automotive corporations doing together? What happened to Toyota's RAV4-EV program that produced 100% electric sports utility vehicles (that's right, SUV's!) that are still running, today, at a cost of two cents per mile? Engineer Nevres Cefo shows how Americans are being systematically misinformed and trapped with only one choice for their future transportation needs: the internal combustion engine and liquid fuels. Can we change the course of where we are going and how we get there? Yes we can, and Cefo shows you how to do it.
