The record-breaking, biodiesel-powered Earthrace vessel is visiting Queensland promoting the use of environmentally sound fuels. The unique craft - like something out of Mad Max on water - this year set a new record for a powerboat to circle the globe. Using renewable biodiesel fuel for a net zero carbon footprint, the 24,000 nautical mile voyage took 60 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes, smashing the record by over two weeks. Earthrace skipper Pete Bethune said the vessel's tour aimed to connect with people and encourage debate on environmental issues. [What crap! He is doing it because he enjoys it]

What utter horseshit. Do these folks have a eff-ing clue as to the bajillion-dollar carbon footprint they left when they had that stainless steel monstrosity (and its power plant, interior appointments and accessories) built?
