In August 2007 I posted this http://franklynch.org/plug_in_cars.htm which challenged General Motors executives to stop presiding over the extinction of their once great corporation, to get off their butts and start producing a plug-in electric car that would go for 40 miles on a single battery charge.
Now I know from the hosting logs that General Motors has been all over my website ad apparently they listened because, after only seven months we got results:
Last night I saw a General Motors television ad stating that they had an electric car that would go 40 miles on a charge, that you could plug in to any electric outlet, and that it was “Coming Soon.”
Chalk one up for Frank the Futurist!
And thank you General Motors!
Now, how about giving one to me to drive as an evaluator?

WAY TO GO there!! I think your idea was super – and I love to see another example of how a good idea seems to take on a life of its own. Even when people don’t remember exactly where they saw/heard/read a good idea, it just keeps growing until the proper people can implement it. Sometimes people in different parts of the world ‘invent’ the same thing at the same time. Now, don’t you think that something/someone planted the idea in them (and others), and it germinated until it sprouts up as an ‘invention’ by the right people.
Wanna bet other car manufacturers will soon have the same bright idea???
