This is kinda neat. :D Basicly an idea(l) plan how to deal with the rising cost and sinking suply of oil: Ultra light & ultra strong cars.

In sum: We keep clinging to the old ways of doing things because "that's how they've always been done" rather than appling new ideas and advances to them. Sorta like how Ed classes go on about learning theory and how small chunks are good and large tests are bad, but noone applies this because education has always been about piling it on.
