Thinking Inside and Outside the Box

There is a new sense of entrepreneurial enthusiasm in the automotive sector as we watch the demise of the Detroit 3 due to their lack of vision and management skills. The next big personal transportation movement must be "Eco" - meaning ecologically and economically friendly.

Not all new ideas are "Eco". There are the new 2010 Signature Series Mustangs (you are welcome Jesse) from Ford and Steve Saleen with 4.6L V8 engines and up to 650 horsepower. These are not exactly gas sippers. But the effects of these Mustangs on the environment are nothing compared to the solution Dubai's Palazzo Versace Hotel has come up with for hot sand beaches.
