Neil Young, a high-profile proponent of cars powered by alternative fuels, was recently stranded on the highway when his own $1 million biomass-powered hybrid car broke down.
**SNIP**
Young was on his way to an environmentalist festival in Canada, according to the Sierra Sun, driving his custom-made hybrid electric 1959 Lincoln Continental.

We’ve ALL been there...whether gas, electric, hamsters or biomass.

A million dollar 1959 Lincoln. I think this is Mother Nature's way of telling Neil Young he has too much money.
To: Libloather
I don’t really have a problem with this: if someone wants to convert a ‘59 Lincoln to biofuel, God bless ‘em.

However, the difference is that with a gas car, a cab ride and $5 will get you on the road again. With an alt-fuel car, not so much.

So, let’s see... Near zero tailpipe emissions had he done a (maximum) $12,000 CNG conversion, assuming that everything would have to be custom made to go with the big engine. Or a million dollars for a biomass electric system?
I’d say he had more money than brains, but that’s kinda to be expected when dealing with the globullwarmists. A penny has more brains...

Guess he was searching for a heart of gold to pull over and help him

“A million dollar 1959 Lincoln. I think this is Mother Nature’s way of telling Neil Young he has too much money.”
Better than blowing it on cocaine. He was a huge pot head. I read his biography and was surprised how often him and his crew were smoking pot

Salvation does not come by worship of the earth, via driving an electric car that hypocritically has to be plugged into an outlet to get juice created by nasty coal, hateful nuclear, or dastardly oil...I’m sure there is a way to make a Subaru Outback or a Volvo station wagon make a turbine go around cleanly...well, just thinking...in the meantime, where is Nelson and ahahahaha???
