So Willums shipped a Think City to Kamen, who is now modifying the two-seater
coupe to carry a Stirling engine (photo at right) powered by veggie oil, for
instance. ("You could drive across the country, stopping a McDonald's to fill
up," says Kamen.)

:-) In the long term McDonald's may not be able to provide enough fuel for all,
but even unused vegetable oil is an economic carbon neutral fuel, a little
cheaper than diesel over here where conventional fuels are sizeably more
expensive than in the US.
