Hittin’ the Road
I’m heading on a cross country road trip tomorrow with two of my best buddies from Duke. We somehow convinced some non-profit organizations, policy think tanks, and car companies to hook us up with a flex-fuel vehicle for the trip so we can see whether or not it’s possible to drive coast to coast on ethanol fuel. We’ll be meeting some elected officials, celebs and lots of interesting folks along the way and writing about it on a cool blog as we learn about alternative fuels and America’s energy future:

(this won’t be live until Sen. Obama introduces us at the Campus Progress conference)!
On the blog, you can track our progress on the nifty Google maps, leave us comments, and give us suggestions for dive bars and greasy fast food restaurants to visit. Pretty please let us know if we’ll be crossing paths with any of you and we’ll hang out. The itinerary has us cruising for 10 days, heading through the following states sequentially: DC, VA, MD, WV, OH, IN, IL, WI, MN, SD, NE, CO, UT, NV, CA.
After the trip, I’ll be relaxing back home in Virginia Beach for a little while before heading to William & Mary Law School in the Fall. Please keep in touch, and honk if you see us on the road!
