Time to change gears again (pun intended). Who Killed the Electric Car? is a must-see documentary from 2006.-
Written and directed by Chris Paine, this is an unflinching look at the electric cars from the mid to late 1990s and the forces that conspired against them: big oil, big business, California and federal governments...

There is a lot of really good information packed into this movie. Why it makes more sense for electric rather than hydrogen, for example.
-
I haven't seen Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, but I'd venture a guess that Who Killed the Electric Car? is as important a movie. If you haven't seen this yet, I recommend it highly!

Paine is filming a sequel, Revenge of the Electric Car, which is due out in 2011. I can hardly wait. If it's half as good as the first it'll be worth the price to see it in the theatre.
