People will cut down trees to heat their homes or power their cars. I, Gilligan, have devised the most efficient and benign form of transportation yet! It's the geothermal car! Next will be the geothermal boat! Are you using a sterling engine? In his case, he probably thinks it is sterling, but it's just plated! CWM I'm blowing the steam directly on to the sails! |
