This is an interesting article that raises even more interesting issues. Here we have a group of high school students who, in their school's auto shop, have developed a hybrid race car that's got 300hp under the hood, does 0-60 in under 4 seconds, and gets 50mpg. They call it the "Attack", which is a fitting name, because it mounts a fairly powerful attack against the auto manufacturers whose best offering to date is the Prius. This shows very clearly that the auto manufacturers can, and must, do better in developing hybrid and alternative-fuel vehicles. A group of high school students was able to do it. Why can't multibillion-dollar corporations accomplish the same thing?

Here's a link to the full article:

the dark sighed

The sometimes random musings of a carbon-based lifeform, the manifested equivalent of three buckets of water, and a handful of minerals.
(Those very buckets turned upside-down, supply the percussive factor of forever).
