This is an interesting one. Instead of a gasolin-electric hybrid, a Korean company named Energine has created a pnumatic-electric hybrid. The pnumatic motor (a motor powered by air for those of you who don’t know) is used to start the car and power it up hill and when accelerating, but the electric motor is used once the car reaches 12-15 mph. The advantages are obviously the removal of the pollution factor as well as making the engine more effecient. It’s a great idea, though I doubt that Americans will be driving it anytime soon.

Accoding to the Personal Democracy Forum the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will be voting on the 5th whether or not to pass a city ordinance which would require the city’s bloggers to register with the city Ethics Commision and report all blog related expenses that exceed $1,000. While this only applies to bloggers discussing candidates for local offices, which is in reaction to events that occured during the last election in that city, there is still a question of how much regulation should be placed on bloggers?
