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."
Well if a blog says it's "well sourced," that's good enough for me!

Local temperature been below average for the last two weeks? So much for global warming!

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.
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.
The pony may run on a good cheap fuel, but the emissions are more of a problem.

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.
