Nick Shager

The second article “Who Killed the Electric Cars” from the Slant Magazine is written by Nick Shager. One interesting feature I found is that, both Shager and Dargies mentioned “An Inconvenient Truth” in their articles. Shager’s review is much more straightforward and he uses lots of parenthesis after a statement to support his claims. “Unsurprisingly, it's a rather long list of culprits, from oil companies (who saw the technology as a potentially lethal competitor) and the federal government (unwilling to break ranks with their automotive industry bedfellows) to the competing Hydrogen Fuel Cell (which remains decades away from being a practical alternative to gasoline) and general consumer indifference.”
