APOLOGIES, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A CONFLICT OF SCHEDULING BY THE STATION AT SOUTHERN RAIL
Today the President announced loans for bailing out the automotive industry. While it is important to save jobs, fuel efficiency improvements and safeguards for consumers and the environment
have not been a part of any of the failed legislation considered by
Congress up until now, and much less by the administration in today's
announcement. With this bail-out our government is demonstrating once again, as with the financial bail-out,
a catastrophic shortsightedness. We are missing a great opportunity
for retrofitting our highly carbon intensive infrastructure. We could
be dealing with global warming and peak oil while at the same time
priming the real economy.
CANCELLED: the Carrborogreenspace (The WITT in exile) will be
presenting 'Who Killed the Electric Car" at the Station at Southern
Rail (201-c East Main Street), Carrboro. The auto-industry has
actively continued to ignore all the signs that would have lead to a
saner predicament then the one that they find themselves in today.
This movie demonstrates the complicity that we are inheriting as our
govenment throws money away to an industry that could be made to do
better.... come out, inform yourself, and hold your Representative accountable to the highest standards. Discussion to follow after the movie.
