Check out The Night Move on Model D!

Look! Coverage on Model D! Read it here, by Kelli B. Kavanaugh: Cue the Seger: Night Move launches shuttle service between Downtown, Ferndale and Royal Oak bars.

According to our favorite transportation writer over at Crain's, Bill Shea, "The public will get its first glimpse this week of a draft of a three-county regional transportation plan that spells out how to improve current regional mass-transit options, where to build new elements such as light rail, and how to pay for it all." We've been following light rail plan developments for a while, so this is pretty interesting stuff.

Shea says, "Both Woodward plans say the line would feed into the 48-mile Ann Arbor-Detroit commuter rail line under study by SEMCOG and targeted for 2010 operation."

2010?! That's so soon! How awesome would public transportation be? We're one step closer to building Detroit up to greatness.

You're interested, right? Us too. We'll keep you posted. For now check out the original article here.

Outer space is sweet. Rockets are sweet. This is not exactly relevant to what the Night Move is doing, but all this coolness simply cannot go unreported. Discovery News' Irene Klotz wrote yesterday about a privately built rocket that its creator wants to sell to NASA. The creator is a web developer, instrumental in the development of PayPal, among other things. He started a company called Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and built a rocket that's now in successful testing stages.

Talk about being able to do anything you put your mind to.

The current shuttle is to be retired in 2010, because it's old and unsafe, and the new one NASA is developing won't be ready until 2015. Meanwhile, we will soon need a way to access the almost-finished $100 billion International Space Station. Without depending on (and paying billions to) the Russians to transport us there, we need another solution.

Enter: Private rocket builder Elon Musk -- a true Rocket Man, if you will.

Run your car on trash!

Discovery News, on the Discovery Channel website, is my one of my favorite spots ever. Anyway, according to Discovery News writer Jessica Marshall, "Within the next two years, some of us may be running our cars on trash." Apparently there are two companies, one in Illinois and the other in the UK, claiming they can produce mass amounts of ethanol from garbage. Cheap, safe, non-foreign fuel, and landfill reduction, while preserving our food supply -- think of the possibilities! And check out the full story here.

Car runs on a wine buzz

Prince Charles has converted his 38-year-old Aston Martin into an eco-friendly vehicle, CNN reports. The car runs on -- get this -- wine. Check out the story. That is SO awesome.

Today we commemorate a moment of justice as criminal, gangster and general sleazeball (oh, and former mayor) Kwame Kilpatrick pleads guilty and goes to jail. Peace out, Kwam-ster.

Powered by Clean Emission Fluids

Take a look around the Clean Emission Fluids website. They're a local organization working to promote a better earth through the use of biodiesel. Biodiesel has been found to cause 50% less harm to the ozone layer than other types of gas and diesel fuel.

Clean Emissions Fluids is the source for the biodiesel the Night Move will run on.

Have you had your green today?

The Night Move reduces its carbon footprint (you could probably stand to do the same)

On top of just being awesome, the Night Move is also known for saving the planet.

We've paired up with CarbonFund.org to neutralize our carbon emissions. Isn't that cool? Check it out, it's a sweet way to eliminate the guilt you were feeling over the size of your carbon footprint. And from the looks of things, you've got a pretty big footprint -- what are you, a clown?

We have a bus! Woohoo!

Next step: drive you around in it. We plan to launch in early October. We'll keep you posted.

For now, get fired up. It's almost here. It's almost here!
