An unofficial news blog for Neil Young fans from Thrasher's Wheat with concert and album updates, reviews, analysis, and other Rock & Roll ramblings. Separating the wheat from the chaff since 1996.
Can we industrialize this technology to convert the unsold fleet in the auto industry? And how do I invest? I want to be a board member & a stock holder. I want to never hear those three ugly words, "drill, baby, drill." It sounded like a bunch of drunk frat boys. It hurt my ears and pierced my soul.
Drill baby drill. If you want to be able to live in a warm or cool home, if you want to be able to drive to concerts and from that home-we better drill baby drill, unless you think the Taliban will give you a ride. Don't ditch the proven until the replacement is in place.
Neil Young and the Linc Volt in Menlo Park! Neil Young brought his Linc Volt, reconditioned classic 1959 Lincoln Continental Mk IV, to Sun's Menlo Park campus today to give employees a chance to see the car and the singer up close. The car is now a hybrid, powered by natural gas and lots of batteries. I was surprised at how well it was done - hiding the batteries where the convertible top normally folds down, the engine under the back seat and the generator in the front. Why did Neil drive it to Sun's campus today? Because the car uses Java to monitor performance. I'm not huge car nut, but do like Neil Young and appreciate cool technology so I definitely enjoyed myself. (2008-11-11 15:28:32.0)
