A decent-looking sports car that goes from 0-60 in four seconds, and still gets 50mpg.
On pure soy-bean oil bio-diesel.
Made by a group of high school drop-outs and no-accounts out of West Philly in their spare time.

They could make EVERY american citizen trade in their old car for something like a hybrid, or something like in the above article, if they were manufactured. We can even make cars that run on WATER. I mean, c'mon.
But that means we would lose trade with too many countries, and GASP that's so much money lost! OH NOES THE MONIE. Who cares about the planet? It's all about the money. It's simply not cost effective to do such a crazy thing as that.
Ugh, I'll stop ranting before this comment gets any longer.
You're dead-on right...
Date: 2006-03-01 09:25 am (UTC)The other advantage of bio-diesel is that it can, and likely in the future would, be brewed at home instead of mass-produced. It's simple enough to make, it's likely to be made by local stores instead of relying on huge, expensive-to-build-and-hard-to-get-permits-for refineries. It's simple enough your corner gas station could make it, and hell it's the same fuel in this case the McDonald's inside the gas station uses to make french fries. =^.^=
