The Return of the Sparrow Electric Vehicle?

H0NGK0NGPH00EY writes "I have been keeping my eye on the Sparrow electric vehicle, following last year's bankruptcy of its creator, and recently noticed that the brightly-colored three-wheeled electric commuter car has been reborn. Myers Motors will begin selling an upgraded version this summer, after having acquired the rights and tooling from Phoenix Environmental Motors, who mention this on their official homepage."

You people with your electric cars crack me up.

Always bleating on about "saving the environment" and "sticking it to the man". Here's a thought for you geniuses- where do you think the electricity needed to run your car comes from? Yes, thats right, from burning coal and dirty, radioactive nuclear fission. You would be contributing far less harm to the environment by driving a small gasoline car, and at the same helping America's economy.

All you traitors look at people driving SUV's and Chevy's with scorn, while the whole time increasing America's dependance on nuclear generated power. Did you learn nothing from Three Mile Island? Chernobyl? When the only places we have left to drive to are steaming, glowing craters in the ground I will know who to thank- those selfish enough to drive electric cars.

Firstly, there are other ways of generating electricity, and massive measures are being put in place for this in the UK (wind farms, for a start). Not a bad thing.

If people are not educated about the nastiness of fossil fuel burning, then we might as well just give up now.

Secondly, your SUVs etc ARE damaging to the environment. Your "small" gasoline engines are far larger than they actually need to be. Why on earth do you need a five litre V8 to take the kids to school? Basically, you don't. All of this crap being pumped out in inner-cities makes it difficult to breath, which is where research into other methods (even hybrid methods) is a boon, and should only ever be welcomed.

But people who actually, unfathomably, look at other people who welcome progress and change as "traitors" will never listen. I'd like to see you drive your V8 around those craters when the fuels run out.

Three Mile Island was America's worst commercial nuclear disaster ever (Note: Military Nuclear Disasters have had some worse fates). AND NOBODY DIED. Not even in the long term. Nuclear is RELATIVELY non-poluting.

All you trolls look at people driving electric cars with scorn, while the whole time increasing America's dependance on foreign oil.

I hope to god you were trying to be funny.
