Interesting audio clip from 1974...oil embargo...don't be fuelish...electric car available this fall
http://soundcloud.com/lileks/hallindenThe electric car piece begins at 1:32.
From the wiki...
"The company also established the “World’s First Electric Car Expressway” between Detroit and Chicago (a distance of about 300 miles (483 km)) that consisted of Interstate 94, but with six 50 kW charging stations that were located at Holiday Inn hotels near the highway.[5] Additional charging stations were planned.[3]

As suburban Chicago is poised reach 97 degrees, breaking the 1911 temperature record for this date, I can't help but wonder where we might be if corporations had less control of our government.
