A discovery that could give the world access to vast quantities of energy with minimal damage to the climate will be shown off for the first time at a glittering gathering of the famous, rich and influential next Friday night.

Al Gore is to be the star turn at a dinner where guests have paid at least ?1,000 a head, and some will have parted with ?50,000 for their share of the Aberdeen Angus steak and pink champagne, under the high ornate ceilings of London's Royal Courts of Justice.

This could be...erm...interesting. I'll bet there's oil used somewhere along the line though.

Yeah, I read this. Who is Kane Kramer, and does anyone have any idea what this new energy source is? Solar power beamed back from space perhaps?

It's all quite simple really.

They have found a way of harnessing the energy created during the - err - amorous activities of snails.

You do however need a LOT of snails per "fuel cell" ... and they have to be in the mood.

"Oi, geroff, I've got a headache!"

From his 'content lite' website I'm not impressed. Apart from claiming he 'invented' the iPod in the 70's, and moaning about not receiving any money for it. Some childish sketches do not a product make...

I am willing to bet this miracle will be underwhelming and vanish shortly thereafter.

Bah! Shoot the b***ers anyway! Are they any less venal just because some bloke's got a perpetual-motion machine in his pocket?

Hope it works . . . I can pack in work then and go back to being a full-time hippy.

Sounds like the Segway saga all over again - pathetic.
