Oups, I think I might have used the smiley incorrectly..... sorry! I jsut meant I was going to keep my mouth shut.
I'm full of respect for anyone who takes on a big project and completes it!
IMHO biofuels are an emergancy "stop gap" solution at best... as soon as people see the light we are headed for electric cars.. mark my words..!
These will effectively be wind powered vehicles! - at least here in Denmark
The idea is to make an intelligent charging network that effectively stores otherwise unused wind energy in the cars during nighttime. According to some reports I've read, there's already being produced enough wind electricity in this country to power our entire fleet of cars - if they were electric.
But the only electric sportts caar I have seen so far is the Tesla, which is built on the Elise platform. However, instead of having an 800 kg agile car, the Tesla is a 1200 kg dog! So batteries really must improve by a lot before we can have "electric fun", IMHO.
Meanwhile, Waldo will probably get a lot of fun once he goes on the road - and black smoke frfom the tyres!
