"After making a historic trek in his "Veggie Van" a decade ago, Josh is on the road again on an alternative fuel tour, beginning in San Francisco and landing in New York for the Friday premiere. This time he's in another amazing vehicle co-created by Rebecca Harrell, producer of FUEL -- a plug-in Prius that runs on a percentage of gasoline made from algae, not oil"

It seems like these are the attention grabbing events that are necessary to get the American people interested. We are a country that believes individuals will come up with break through methods in their garages. Thomas Edison and others have generated this myth and it never seems to die.
What ever the case, people rally around CalCars plug in hybrid conversions and others pioneering some pretty basic methods to use less fuel and be more efficient. If this is what it takes, then thank goodness for those people who are willing to take the time and effort to do it and promote it. Lord knows we have not had a lot of leadership at the national level on this is the past.
