Student Killed Driving Solar Car
Lev13than writes "Tragedy struck the University of Toronto's Blue Sky Solar Racing Team on Thursday when 21-year old student Andrew Frow was killed in a car accident. It appears that Frow lost control of the low-riding experimental car and was struck by a minivan head-on. The team was driving from Stratford to Waterloo (about an hour west of Toronto) as part of a tour of universities in Ontario and Quebec to mark the one-year anniversary of the 2003 Blackout. This is a big setback for solar power advocates, especially as the blackout anniversary will pass with remedial legislation stranded in Congress. More information on the accident is available here." The vehicle's design is not really street-safe - this will be a problem as more efficient, lighter cars share the road with Hummers.
I never did trust the sun anyways, being the cave dwelling gnome I am.
This dangerous drive (and the resulting accident) happened in Canada. Clearly this will be the catalyzing event that finally will move our lawmakers to declare Canada illegal. This has been a long time in coming. (As Kyle's Mom once said... "It's not even a real country!")

You know, if he had been testing a solar powered SUV, he wouldn't have been killed!
...he died a natural death.

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
She won't let me sleep with other women, so I figure its a fair trade?
The whole accident was staged by the EXXON corporation's board of directors!!!
