The Haram Car
If you are into your green, then you will know about E85 and ethanol powered cars. Unfortunately, there is an issue:
Saudi scholar, Sheikh Mohamed al-Najimi has expressed his opinion that under Islamic law the use of ethanol could be considered a sin, as it is a form of alcohol: This opinion is based on a statement by "the prophet that prohibited all kinds of dealings with alcohol including buying, selling, carrying, serving, drinking, and manufacturing."
If you go by that rule, then you might need a driver to drive you somewhere as long as you didn't have to pay. Jurisprudence eh? What do the people of Masdar have to say about this?

Now, isn't that one fine pickle!! Looks like the piece you had posted on electric cars might become a reality after all.

"buying, selling, carrying, serving, drinking, and manufacturing" as a means of intoxication not as a fuel in the car...
