If I blogged about my job and my boss read it, I'd get fired. He once said that the solution for alternative energy is cars with huge springs in them. When you wanted to go somewhere you'd just wind them up.
That reminds me of the book The Windup Girl - it's set in the 23rd century, and all of the natural resources we use today have been depleted, so energy storage is done by having genetically modified elephants manually wind up springs. Who knows, maybe your boss is just way ahead of his time. :D
There's no way to put a positive spin on that.
