2011--The Right
Information To The Right Person--2011
Earth Day
41st Anniversary
April 22, 2011
A Series Of 10 Emails
concerning
The President's State Of The Union Address
and
The Challenge For 1 Million Electric Vehicles By 2015
97 Years...Behind The Curve!!
During the course of
"My Research"
on..
The Lincoln Highway
run across
"A Variety"
of
"Interesting"
"Historic Information"
Accordingly,
several years ago
"Tripped Across"
"A Series of Articles"
detailing..
"The Surpisingly Advanced State"
of..
"Early Electric Vehicles"
(1913-1917)
which
"Included"
"Hybrid Technology"
and
"Dynamic Braking!!"
I mean...
"Who Knew!!"
Well..
Needless to say,
"It Was Pretty Exciting Stuff"
so
"Wrote A Series Of Emails On the Subject"
for
Earth Day 2009
and
"That Was Pretty Much That"
until
"Shortly Therafter"
"Tripped Across"
"This Article"
on..
"The Powell Lever Motor"
which
"Really Got Me Excited!"
Accordingly,
for..
"The 40th Anniversary"
of
"Earth Day"
"Put Together"
"A Series Of Web Pages"
on..
"The Evolution of Electric Vehicles"
http://www.lincoln-highway-museum.org/EV/EV-Index.html
and..
"The Powell Lever Motor"
http://www.lincoln-highway-museum.org/Powell/000-Powell-Index.html
then..
"Issued A Press Release"
http://www.lincoln-highway-museum.org/40-ED/40-ED-PR.pdf
to..
"All The National Media Outlets"
(AP, UPI, NBC, CBS, ABC CNN & FOX)
and
"Over 200 Major Newspapers"
in addition to
making
"Personal Contact"
with..
GM, Ford, EPA, NASA,
The White House
and
"Many Other"
"Front Line Players"
in hopes of..
"Getting The Right Infomation To The Right People"
so they might use
"The Information"
as..
"A Spring Board"
to..
"Inpire Others"
and..
"Raise"
"The Bar"
on..
"Current"
"Technology!!"
Unfortunately,
"No One"
"Ever"
"Responded"
and
"To My Knowledge"
"No One"
"Ever"
"Printed A Word!!"
Well..
"As You Might Imagine"
given
"The Nature Of The Problem"
i.e.
"Global Warming"
"The Rising Cost Of Fuel"
"Dependancy on Foreign Oil"
"The Overall Energy Issue"
not to mention
"The Continuation"
of
"Life As We Know It"
"The Non-Response"
was
"Shall We Say"
"Troubling"
to
"Say The Least!!"
Then..
Along came..
The President's
State Of The Union Address
calling for..
"One Million Electric Cars By 2015"
which
"Blew My Mind"
because
"Obviously"
"He"
and or
"His Staff"
(A State Of The Union Address Is Vetted By 100's Of People)
or..
"The Experts"
"Commenting"
on
"The Speech"
were..
"97 Years Behind The Curve"
and
"Didn't Know Anything"
about..
"The Advanced State"
of..
"Early Electric Vehicles"
or
"More Importantly"
Dr. Charles Steinmetz
and
"His"
"Prediction"
of..
"One Million Electric Vehicles On the Road By 1925"
based on..
"The Facts"
and
"Not"
"Wishful Thinking!!"
That being the case..
After The President's Trip to Wisconsin
"The Following Day"
"Highlighting"
"The One Million Car Challenge"
along with..
"Ford's Big News Release"
"Announcing"
"4% Fuel Saving Technology"
in
"All New Cars"
when..
"They Could Have 40% With The Powell Lever Motor"
that was..
"The Last Straw"
(Book By Frederick Thury-Illustration By Vlasta van Kampen)
which
"Led To"
"A Second Series Of Emails"
and
"Contact"
with..
The White House
Office Of Energy & Climate Control
in hopes of
"Finally"
"Getting The Right Information To The Right Person"
i.e.
"The President!!"
But..
Alas..
"That Too"
"Failed!!"
I mean..
"What Is"
"The World Coming To!!"
Accordingly,
based on
"What I Know"
couldn't..
"Sleep At Night"
without
"Knowing"
it was
"Out There"
for..
"Those"
with..
"The Eyes To See!!"
So..
For..
The 41st Anniversary
of
"Earthday"
"Put Together"
this
"New Web Page"
in hopes of
"Getting The Right Information To The Right Person!!"
Accordingly,
"If You Have Any Questions"
or
"Can Help In Any Way"
"Feel Free"
to
"Call Or Email"
"Anytime!!"
Until then..
Warmest Regards,
