Full electrics 4 life!

Also...

@ash78:

I wonder when people will start paying attention to that... Presumably at some time after we in the US stop pretending China is our bestest friend, i suppose...

Good call on electric drive... maybe the British are gun shy based on their record with automotive electronics. Lucas anyone?

Each one of these plants does more environmental damage than every car we've ever built, combined. So you can all suck our codpieces. Wankers."

]]> <![CDATA[What Bentley Believes: 17-Page CO2 Manifesto Has Been Read]]> Why dont they just put Hybrid badging all over their cars? That'll duck em under the PC radar for a while.

They dont have to actually have a hybrid drivetrain or consume any less energy or anything, it would just be cheaper than writing that 17 page BS fest and copying it for all the customers who dont give a shit anyway.

Seems like their just trying to impress their non-customers so they dont end up like Hummer.

It's important to have dreams my friend. Just remember that in this case, quantity will trump quality.

Who'd have thought? By 2011 I could be my own fuel refinery. Take that, Texas City!

Anyways, Bio-Fuels are stupid. V12 Oilburning Bentleys Yes.

Schm thinks that the Volt may get him laid. . .

Seriously though, good on Bentley for recognizing that a) the benefits of adopting Biofuel 1.0 are dodgy, at best, and b) like it or not, we are on the cusp of Malaise Era II (though it sounds like it won't be quite as brutal as Malaise Era I) and that we all need to be ready.

Waste not, want not: If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.

It is clear that after the world is forced to face the crisis of climate change and access to energy, we must maintain order to combat the zombie mutants... Therefore we must continue to research biofuels based on their rotting corpses... some girl that looks like Kate Beckinsale but isn't will be the leader of good forces..."

]]> <![CDATA[What Bentley Believes: 17-Page CO2 Manifesto Has Been Read]]> was this the script to that new movie with the zombies and some hot chick that drives a Bentley in a post-apocalyptic world? Cause I'd go see that movie if Bentley actually signed off on it.
