Some Supreme Court induced fuckery, a quick dose of insanity, and a different sort of Afghanistan story that's well worth reading...
While it's been decades since I last drove a car but I do keep an eye on what's happening on the automotive front.
As it happens, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport caught my attention as the body is constructed partly of natural fibers including hemp and flax which mirror the strength, stiffness, and weight of carbon fiber. On the plus side, hemp and flax are both sustainable raw materials and much less costly than carbon or glass fiber.
Of course, using sustainable materials in an automobile that is a black hole for the use of petroleum products is just so much greenwashing but it does point out that natural composite structures are a reality and given the right sort of project (spelled b-o-a-t) could make a whole lot of sense.
