Excerpts:
> So we'll be pumping Virgin Fuel?
> It will be called Virgin Fuel, yes! It's not
> ethanol-based as such, but it'll be a clean
> fuel. And if we've got it right, it could be
> a very important breakthrough. We think this
> fuel will work in cars and trucks and trains
> within a year. And we're hoping that it might
> work in commercial jet engines within five
> years, possibly sooner. So it will be able to
> work in Virgin Atlantic planes one day.
...
> Likewise with clean fuels; it was exactly the same.
> We went out and we registered Virgin Fuels, we went
> out and talked to every scientist developing clean
> fuels. And when there were breakthroughs, we were
> the first on the scene. So we immerse ourselves in
> things we are interested in and make sure that
> nobody gets there before us.
