Mary, re. the wind turbine on the roof, why not some very high tech, super efficient solar panels on the roof, the hood and trunk lid instead? All power, no drag, and keeps the batterys charged up while parked in the lot all day. That's what we need. And could one of you guys from Europe post some info on those cute little "Smart Cars" I see over there?

Like; what do they cost, how fast are they and what kind of gas millage do they get? I have heard there is someone about to import them to the US. I'm ready! Are they made by Mercedes Benz? Thanks.

Also, I thought I read that in Brazil they are building sugar refineries to ethanol and runnning their cars on it, 100%, not a blend. Anyone from Brazil know more about that?
