The Longest, Greenest Challenge. AP, August 17, 2010. "Three teams from Germany, Switzerland and Australia set off Monday on The Zero Race, aiming to prove it's possible to tour around the world in 80 days with emission-free, electric vehicles. The race, which will pass through 16 countries, is no simple challenge. Already, an American team that was supposed to compete lost its vehicle to a fire, while a South Korean team is expected to join later after running into battery trouble. The aim is to complete the 30,000-kilometre trip without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, a goal that Louis Palmer, the race organizer, believes can be done."
