The problem with the electric car, is that your replacing a gasoline engine with an electric one, so if everyone with a gasoline powered car, switched to an electric one, where are you going to get all that power, probably from burning coal, which results in just as much greenhouse gas, and you get to burn through the coal supply that much quicker. Instead of having 300 years worth of coal, you end up with 30 years supply. Your not solving the problem, just changing the finite resource your plundering, same goes for nuclear. Biofuels are a partial solution, but creates a different issue, would you rather eat or drive?

As for the movie, I would love to see it. Wonder if the local video place can order a copy.
