That's simple. Just add another trailer with an aux boiler running on lawn clipping.
The Stanley Steamer was just ahead of its time.

I don' need to convert no steenkin' Cadillacs.

Never. Don't have anything against them per say, but IMHO, a vehicle that big that you can't fit a refrigerator , sofa and tables and chairs or run down to pick up a 1/2 ton of gravel or a yard of mulch in is a bunch of wasted real estate. If your objective is to haul a bunch of kids to soccer games, minivans do it very well for 1/3 of the cost.
BTW. That's just me, but I have never had my ego (or anything else) stroked by the type of vehicle I own. I always looked at them just as tools, and if I didn't need one, I wouldn't have one.
I understand other people feel different about cars, and it is a free country, but outside of the rare few who must drive very tough off-road situations or military applications, a hummer is an ego choice, IMHO.
Nothing wrong with that, but its not any different than the people who pay all that cash for the illusion of being "Earth friendly. Egos, just on different trips.
I loved the way the liberal press (e.g., The Los Angeles Times) did
NOT do an analysis on the liberal's darling uber-conveyance,
the General Motors EV-1.
I suspect the environmental damage done when one EV-1 burned to
the axles was greater than the emissions by 10 Ford F-250s over their
useful lifetimes.

Smooth 8 and a sipper not a chugger. I have a short commute to work 4.4 miles. Long trips I really get the great mileage even when I average 75 mph on cruise control.
Hmmmm...Laurie David must be saddened. She brags about flipping off people who drive Hummers while driving her Prius. I guess we can flip her off now.
The rush!
Wow.
Glad to see there's one person here with a brain.
Through a study by CNW Marketing called “Dust to Dust,”
What is this firm?
Who are their clients?
The numbers and facts in this article are so "out there" that it's actually funny.
What's not so funny is the way people are falling all over themselves to swallow the hype line, hook and sinker.
Is it any wonder Al Bore has such a huge fan club?
Looks like all the people who checked their brains in at the door are not of the liberal persuasion.
They're not called rednecks for nothing. Brainpower is not their strong suit.
How long has that nickel mine and smelter been there in Sudbury Ontario? I suspect for generations before the Prius existed.
By the way, how much does a Hummer go for these days?
I bet not one of the clowns whooping it up today can come close to knowing the total volume of the "toxic" Prius batteries. No much more than the battery in a large pickup or SUV.
Where do all the dead lead-acid batteries go?
If they can be recycled, why can't the nmh ones?
You're a shoe-in.
it is a good laugh!
the arrogant attitude of many prius owners deserves rebuttal.
Actually, it has nothing to do with catalytic converters. The classic VW engine is air-cooled, and because of that it is carbureted to run rich, so that not all of the gasoline is burned. This assists in the cooling of the engine in much the same way as perspiration cools your skin, but results in a very dirty exhaust. The amount of unburned gas would overwhelm a catalytic converter in no time. The rich mixture is required if you want your VW engine to last very long at all.
The point is all those hippies who thought they were saving the planet were actually polluting it more than the SUV's they were sneering at. But they cared so it didn't matter.

Can we finally build the breeder reactors?
