I would like to echo the comments here of TheLoneCabbage; the greater importance of this work has been lost. It is not the fact that a soybean oil fuel car has been made. It is the fact that high school kids came together and made something innovative and on top of that the kids involved were struggling with their academics. The K-to-12 systems unfortunately are designed to cater to particular students and those students succeed. The rest of the students that do not adhere to this model fall to the wayside and sometimes do not receive the attention that they need in order to get a proper education. Projects such as this soybean oil fueled car are not part of a normal high school curriculum and in this case have greatly helped and motivated struggling students. That is what should be applauded and how dare people criticize the value of the work. They are kids and probably in most high schools, the forgotten.
