I’m not a big fan of Neil Young’s music, but this is a pretty cool endeavor. He’s taking an old American gas guzzling behemoth and converting it to a hybrid electric/biodiesel vehicle. I hope he releases the movie. I’ll check it out.

Anyway, the whole article begs the all too common question of if a little guy with no high school education can do this, why can’t the auto industry match or surpass the results and reduce our dependancy on petroleum. While there may be more complicated answers, I’m thinking it’s because they don’t want to, and lobbyists keep the regulations from passing that would force the auto industry’s hands.
