So apparently a bunch of High School students made a diesel/electric hyrbrid sports car that gets 50 mpg, and goes from 0-60 in four seconds. The kicker is it runs on soy beans. A Philidelphia auto class took parts from other cars and put them together to make the car. It's looks pretty impressive. It also makes me wonder, what's wrong with the auto industry? And maybe lobbying does have an enormous sway ovver the continued use of oil. I guess Exxon won't be happy with this.

I know this vehicle does not meet proper vehicle standards, and that soy is more expensive then gas, but the idea of a biomass deisel engine combined with an electric motor does sound like a good idea. Also that if the Go Yellow: Corn idea or Soy, becomes more mass marketed it could in fact end up being cheaper than gas, and be renewable.
