In the current X PRIZE competition, a $10 million prize will be rewarded to the first team to design a street-legal, production-ready car with a fuel efficiency of 100 miles per gallon.
And therein lies the problem for DUH. According to the group, the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE is “actually about the worst possible idea ever,” due to the fact that it simply encourages further reliance on oil, instead of spurring development in alternative energies such as cars powered by grass clippings or “the Mr. Fusion thingy from that one time travel documentary.”
“We want to support innovation and progress,” said Everett Mayor and DUH member Ray Stephanson, “but we just can’t get behind a plan that will reward gas-guzzling enemies of our environment with a $10 million prize.”

DUH! These seem to be hardcore fanatics! There will be a transition, and the world cannot change overnight, and everything that won't change are enemies!!!
But, one thing to their credit, and I fully agree with them. They are promoting the Aptera Type 1e!
