Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015
arbitraryaardvark sends in a story a couple of weeks back in Yahoo's Ecogeek blog, reporting that Mercedes will phase out petroleum-powered cars by 2015 (mirror), and notes: "Story is unconfirmed but well sourced." "In less than 7 years, Mercedes-Benz plans to ditch petroleum-powered vehicles from its lineup. Focusing on electric, fuel cell, and biofuels, the company is revving up research in alternative fuel sources and efficiency."
Gentlemen, redouble your efforts!
Anybody want my mod points?
Well if a blog says it's "well sourced," that's good enough for me!

Why wait for them? Just start a blog and report it as "unconfirmed but well sourced"! You can throw in John Deere and Boeing while you're at it.

Well, we'll need a LOT more chip shops. Then someone has to eat all those chips. Which will make them even fatter. On the bright side, we could probably reduce them to biodiesel after they die of heart attacks.

I love it when post refer to every man woman an child as a single entity that agrees with them when deciding between an old option and something that has previously never been an option. Its refreshing to see a post embrace ignorance so strongly. I don't think there is nearly enough of that on the internet.
Maybe just divorce your wife?
Trust me, I'd LOVE it to be true, but there is no magical, mystical free energy source that's gonna make all our woes vanish overnight.
There is. It's called the sun. (NOT the tabloid newspaper! ;)
I don't think you read the parent very carefully...
I'd drive a pink VW beetle if it got 5 MPG. Then I could buy a pony, which runs on water, salt, and hay.
Imagine a truck full of apostrophes people put into hapless possessive pronouns, that would be very heavy indeed.
The pony may run on a good cheap fuel, but the emissions are more of a problem.
What if Tetris was invented by Nazis?
Ha, I got you! You are a 6 ft tall impostor, coz' Asians smile like this! ^_^

Lowest common denominator? Have you read the Daily Express? ;-)
Picture the scene: BobMcD pulls up alongside an electric car in his petrol one that cost 50% more. He revs the engine and hears its growl. His penis almost feels bigger already. The light turns green and the electric car zooms off at twice the speed yet with half the noise and vibration of his car.
"What a chump!" exclaims BobMcD, turning off the air con to try and conserve his $40 per litre fuel.
Meanwhile, beyond the borders of False Dichotomy Land, some of us will work out solutions that are even better. Have fun in Defeatistville, though. I hear the shuffleboard is great.
