Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015

Posted by kdawson on from the what-no-flying-monkeys dept.

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!

    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...
