Stop Ford From Crushing Zero-Emission Vehicles!

Call to Action: Save Electric Vehicles from Being Crushed by Ford Motor Company!

Zero-emission vehicles powered by solar panels? Sounds like a great step towards ending our destructive dependence on oil and moving us towards a more just, sustainable future, right? Many Bay Area residents thought so and leased Ford Motor Company's most efficient car ever: the all-electric, super efficient "TH!NK City". However, now Ford has decided that zero-emission vehicles are not viable, and Ford is confiscating the TH!NKs and sending them to scrap yards to be dismantled.

While Ford touts its environmental stewardship, the plans to destroy the TH!NKs highlight Ford's utter lack of concern for true solutions to reduce local air pollution and halt global climate change. Current TH!NK drivers, and a Norwegian manufacturer of electric vehicles, want to purchase the TH!NKs. Sadly, as of today Ford has refused all offers to keep the TH!NKs on the road in either the U.S. or Norway; instead Ford plans consign the TH!NKs to history.

We must act now to save these fossil-fuel-free vehicles before they become part of the fossil record.
