Kids Build Soybean Fueled Sports Car

Sterling D. Allan writes "High school students from West Philadelphia High School have designed a sports car that can go from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than 50 miles to the gallon on soy bean oil. CBS News reports that this unlikely car was the star last week at the Philadelphia Auto Show. Once again, are we seeing the fabled instance of revolutionary technology coming not from the big corporations, but from some unlikely garage. Maybe these guys will open source their design."

I have an idea..

I have an idea. Let's base the thrust of our energy efforts on finding new and ever more exotic things to burn. This way, we can continue raising the mean temperature of the planet and really not do anything but postpone the inevitable. That seems like a much more reasonable solution than, say, reforming city and public transport planning so that cars are increasingly less necessary (as in much of europe) as a day-to-day concern. Because, you know, you can build highways to nowhere, but every penny for public transport is pure communism!
