(2003-08-15) -- In one of the more poignant episodes resulting from the multi-state power outage, this morning neighbors of a suburban Detroit man attempted to rescue the owner of an electric car.

"He was just sitting there in the driveway, staring," said one concerned neighbor. "We tried to help. We offered him rides in our SUVs but he just screamed something about global warming and George Bush and Iraq."
