Richard Bransons new BioDiesel SAAB
Richard Bransons new BioDiesel SAAB
Today I was reading about how Richard Branson - the UK entrepreneur and the founder / owner of the airline Virgin has pledged all profits over the next ten years from his transport companies would be reinvested into the renewable energy sector.

He's also driving a new SAAB which is powered by bioethanol and has stated:

"I am convinced that biofuels are the way forward, both for the car and aviation industries, which is a vision we share with Saab. Now we need to extend that vision to others. At the moment, bioethanol is made from a variety of agricultural sources, whilst in the future, we will see it made from cellulosic waste matter, such as wood chippings, which really will make it the ultimate green fuel."

This is the kind of billionaire that I like! Hopefully his lead (and vision) will pave a clear future for the motor vehicle.
