Hummers and Muscle Cars Go Green

Jonathan Goodwin has built a car that can run on ethanol, hydrogen, biodiesel or natural gas–all fairly clean fuels. It gets the equivalent of 40 miles a gallon. And it’s a Hummer. Goodwin, a biodiesel conversion specialist and founder of alternative energy start-up SAE Energy, is an emerging name in an unlikely niche in the clean tech market: making muscle cars green.

The goal is to have a “green” car that doesn’t lose it’s fun-factor or power, and Jonathan seems to accomplish that goal well. The only drawback is that it’s expensive to convert your Hummer over and even with savings on gas, it would take a while to break even. Of course, most people who go “green” are not doing it to only save money.
