1836--Electric
Vehicles--2010
"I Guarantee"
"It Will...Blow Your Mind!"
The Lincoln Highway
"Tripped Across"
some
"Rather"
"Interesting Items"
about..
"Early Electric Vehicles!!'
Well...
"One Thing Led To Another"
so..
"On Earth Day 2009"
I started
"A Series Of Emails"
detailing
"These Earth Shattering Discoveries"
which
"Coincidentally"
"Ended"
on
July 29, 2009
aka
"The Day Neil Stepped On The Moon!!"
Accordingly,
"Based On The Fact"
it only took
"66 Years"
to go from..
"First Flight"
to..
"One Small Step For Man"
and
"One Giant Leap For Mankind"
it seemed
"Strange"
that
"Over 100 Years"
after
"The First Electric Cars"
"We're Still"
on
"The Dark Side Of The Moon!!"
in
"Condensed The Series"
down to
"Four 10 Mb Emails"
and
"Sent Them"
to
The White House
as well as
"Various Media Outlets"
"In An Effort"
"Open The Discussion"
with
"A History Lesson"
on
"Past Achievements"
in
"Electric Vehicle Technology"
and
"Inspire"
"Government Officials"
"Vehicle Manufacturers"
and
"Engineers"
with
"The Facts
in "Hopes" of
"Raising The Bar!"
Unfortunately,
to
"Share This Information"
with
"The World!!"
Thus began..
"A Three Day"
"Marathon Session"
to
"Produce This Web Page!!"
So..
"Hope You Find It Of Value!!"
"As You Now Know"
"Every Day"
"A Part Of Normal Daily Life!!"
And get this...
"Like I Said"
it will
"Blow Your Mind!!"
Now..
Granted..
"This Is By No Means"
"The Last Word"
on
"The Subject"
but
"You Have to Start Somewhere!!"
Accordingly,
"It's Best To Start"
with..
"Email # 1"
and
"Work Your Way Through"
which
"Will"
"Not Only"
"Blow Your Mind"
but
"Give You"
"A Broad Overview"
on
"The Subject!!"
Then..
You can move on to...
"The Industry Reviews"
which
"Contain"
"Detailed Information"
on
The State Of The Industry
followed by
"Some Recent Finds"
in..
"Motor Truck Magazine!!"
I mean..
"Who Knew"
they had..
"Gasoline-Electric Hybrids"
with
"Dynamic Braking"
and
"10 Minute Charges"
"96 Years Ago"
in
"1914!!"
In any event,
"Feel Free"
to
"Spread The Word"
and
"Report Back"
with
"Additional Findings"
and
"Reactions From Your Class, Friends & Neighbors!!"
Then..
Hopefully,
"This Amazing Story"
can
"Be Told"
so
"We Can Get The Lead Out"
and
"Finally"
"Get Back To The Future"
like they did
"Over 100 Years Ago!!"
Warmest Regards,
Craig Harmon, Director
