Green Concept Cars - Where’s the Fun in That?

By Alex Kambas

db2007au00247_large.jpgDo you remember when you couldn’t leave the table– or have desert– without finishing your vegetables? Personally speaking, the parental requirement didn’t make me any more likely to eat or enjoy vegetables. The same holds true when it comes to green cars. I’m as sensitive about saving the planet as the next guy, if not more. But ever since “planet friendly” jumped to the top of the list of PR-friendly attributes– above performance and styling– I’ve been turning back into a child that hates his greens.

    “That’s an interesting point of view. You really think there’s a finite amount of inspiration and at some point people just ran out? Be it music or autocars?”

    I do think that there is a certain amount of possibility space created by new technologies which creates a big blank canvas for inspired people to create with and upon, but the space itself has some limits. The canvas never gets completely full, but the opportunities created by new wide-open vistas eventually fade.

    The fusion of blues, gospel, jazz, etc. along with the arrival of electronic instruments of all kinds provided the great new playground upon which the great rock & rollers of the 1960s-1970s created some amazing new stuff. Now that field of endeveour has been largely consumed and a young person today with the same drive and talent as a 20 year old Roger Waters had in his day is faced with a much less interesting playing field upon which to do his thing.

    It is the times, not just the person, which feed the possibility of genius.
