I watched an interesting movie last night called "Who Killed the Electric Car?" You may watch the video here. If you don't feel like watching all hour and a half I'll summarize:

• California mandated that car companies sell electric cars.
• Car companies made some cars and leased them to a few people.
• Car  and oil companies lobbied to get the mandate removed.
• After the leases were up for the cars, the companies took the cars back and destroyed them, despite the fact that the owners loved the cars and there was demand for more cars to be made.

I've never been much for conspiracy theories but it is clear that car and oil companies are very scared of changing. Now they are pursuing hydrogen as the fuel of the future, despite the fact that there is no guarantee that hydrogen will ever be a viable alternative.
The movie does end with a glimmer of hope in that hybrid cars have done very well and should be able to move from being more gas than electric to more electric than gas and from there to go fully electric.

We at Monk Development launched Sermon Cloud a few weeks ago. It's a great tool for churches because it's a quick easy way for them to get there sermons on-line and available. It's great for everybody because it's a simple way to find good sermons on any topic or passage. It's still relatively small (about 1,200 sermons on file), but it's growing quickly. Here are some of my favorite sermons.
