The Electric Car Makes a Comeback

In 2006 film director, Chris Paine, directed his documentary titled, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" He created this film to glorify the benefits of electric cars that had been popular but were then destroyed. Mother Nature Network interviewed him about his new upcoming film, "Revenge of the Electric Car," which revels the electric car's regain in popularity.

There will be a part of the film documenting the Driving Sustainability 2010 conference in Reykjavik, Iceland, where the world's first electric-car-based transportation system will be discussed. Iceland having just a mere population of about 300,000 and 85% of the country's electricity being zero-emission geothermal makes this country highly conducive to this type of transport.

If you haven't seen Paine's first film, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" be sure to watch the trailer at the bottom of the interview.
