MIT's Energy "Manhattan Project"
Solar cells made from spinach. Algae-based biofuel fattened on greenhouse gas. Plasma-powered turbo engines. These are just some of the technologies being developed by a Manhattan Project-style research effort for new energy technologies at MIT.
All Eyes on 100 MPG Prize
Whoever wins the race to create a 100-MPG vehicle will be pocketing a few million bucks. The Automotive X-Prize, run by the same folks who gave a lift to space tourism, will go to the first company that brings a 100+ MPG vehicle to market.
