Sorry, but it looks cooler and is a classic. Just make that a hybrid. Much better than the Chevy Volt. I, personally, would have a 1959 Caddy. Sorry, but it looks cooler and is a classic.

If you think back to 1991, I wrote and co-directed a video for GM entitled \"Bill Nye\'s Environmental Science\" in which you described, detailed and explained many aspects of engineering for the environment that GM had engineered into their vehickes of the day. Unfortunately, I believe the initial video was followed by another, written by a junior writer ... and the script did NOT originally live up to your standards. As I understand it, you traveled from your home town back to Detroit to PERSONALLY supervise the re-write/re-production ON YOUR OWN TICKET!! I applaud your dedication (and feel bad that your relationship with the particular production company that I worked for eventually deteriorated completely). By the time the SECOND GM PR video was produced, I had moved on to greener pastures. Again - unfortunately -I did not have the opportunity to participate in the second production. If I recall correctly, your compensation for starring in the video was NOT a load of $$, but a GM electric vehicle instead! This further demonstrates your TRUE commitment to science and education, as opposed to chasing the almighty buck. I hope you remember me (the writer/director with the big mouth that shared dinner with you at the Space Needle and who wore a gaudy, leather Corvette coat during production). I feel honored to have worked with you on that project (in fact, to date, it has been the most enjoyable assignment of my career) and would welcome any chance to again collaborate in the future. In my book, you\'re a standout among actors, with a natural ability to educate adults as well as children. Please feel free to conact me via the info provided here if you\'d like to get together again. Thanks ... and by all means keep on keeping it real.

But the question I have wanted to ask was why you never talk about Sulfur, atomic number 16, weight 32 and eight electrons in its outer ring to enable the transport of oxygen\'s eight electrons in its only ring. Glad to hear the news of your death was only an example of bad science reporting.
