Around The Country Without Gasoline

IronChefMorimoto writes "Autoweek has an interesting write up on an Australian man's 16K mile trek around the United States using anything but gasoline to power his variety of alternative fuel vehicles. Featured are bio-diesel Hummers and RVs, a solar-powered canoe, and an excrement-powered scooter." Note that if your car generates electricity, you could conceivably make a few bucks selling juice to the grid at peak hours.

Re: Killing Muslims

"Just kill some muslims and take their oil! They'll only use it for terrorism anyway!"

I'm pretty sure the parent post was meant as a joke, but this is actually a serious business. The reason for this guy's adventure, and other adventures into alternative energy sources, is very real: Prince Bandar and his Saudi friends are currently in control of America via a proxy named George Bush. If you've seen Farenheit 9/11 you know what I'm talking about. At last night's convention John Kerry addressed this in his speech by saying "I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation -- not the Saudi royal family." When he says "ingenuity and innovation", these kinds of oil-alternative projects are exactly what he's talking about. So, let's hope that this publicity stunt helps pull more attention towards the most important counter-terrorism initiative we have: alternative energy.

In other news, have you guys noticed how stingy Gmail is getting with invites? I only have two left, so here's a challenge for only the smartest: prove that "Murder is Wrong" using only known facts and science (no imaginary men or "God" talk allowed). Please steer clear of circular arguments and proof by definition. First three correct proofs get gmail invites (and remember to include your email address). Good luck!
