Could the guys at Standford University develop the first automated Pikes Peak drift monster with an Audi TTS? Hamann erupts with the Volcano, a modified McLaren SLR, Ultima beats a lap time unofficially on the Top Gear test track, and FLDetours with the Lexus HS250h with Richard Posluszny.

Hosted by Derek DeAngelis, back from the booze-cruise.

The threat of global warming has become apparent. We see it on the news, we read about it in newspapers and it is always featured on websites. We also feel and experience the effects of global warming. In some countries, winters have become either longer or shorter. Blizzards and hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more violent. Flash floods are becoming a common occurrence and other strange weather phenomenon is taking place even as we speak.

This is all man’s fault of course. We have abused nature and are now paying the ultimate price. But sad to say, even other creatures have to suffer because of our mistakes. Animals are also feeling nature’s wrath as she in turn has began to take what is due her. Polar bears are drowning as sea ice becomes smaller. They are now swimming greater distances to reach the next patch of ice and the distance grows everyday. Frogs found in suburban homes in the United States are have mutated to become hermaphrodites as rivers and streams have become dumping grounds of our waste making them polluted.

Yes, global warming is upon us. It is evident in our everyday lives. We use sunscreen to block the sun’s harmful rays because our Ozone layer has become thin. We have to suffer through violent storms and crazy weather because our climate is changing. And life as we know it is indeed changing slowly. Yes, we are paying for the price of destroying our natural environment. Yes, we have been neglectful and abusive towards Mother Nature by cutting down her trees and polluting her air with our cars. But this does not mean that we simply stop and give up the fight.

Because it is our fault that global warming has become a threat to mankind, it is also our duty and responsibility to look for ways to curb and slow down the effects of global warming on our planet. One such way is to find an alternative source of fuel that is not only clean but is also renewable.

There are groups of people, individuals and even companies who do research on alternative fuel sources. Global warming is reversible and they are looking for ways to do this effectively. Everybody has seen solar powered calculators, watches and even cars. There are solar powered homes and actors like Leonardo di Caprio even lives in a condominium building where all units are powered by photovoltaic cells which harness solar power.

Research and studies for solar energy give all of us hope. These will someday change the way people perceive fuel for their cars, homes and offices. High energy solar powered systems for governments and countries around the world is what our world needs in order to solve the energy crisis. Research for solar energy is still somewhat new but steps are being taken for solar energy to power homes, streets, city blocks and maybe in the future whole cities and countries.

A long time ago, a man named Galileo was threatened by the Catholic Church of excommunication when he proposed that it was the sun and not the earth that was the center of the solar system. Maybe today, Galileo is smiling and saying “I told you so” as companies looking for ways to turn solar energy to help solve and alleviate not only the energy crisis but threat of global warming as well.

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear

So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long, so long so long, so long so long
So long so long and thanks for all the fish
