Clean My Ride, is clearly part of the vast left wing Hollywood conspiracy to promote higher fuel efficiency and ethanol use. It’s also kind of funny. While I am still not sure ethanol from corn (something this group supports) will ever be more than a small stopping point on the road to electric cars, these are some well made videos.

The main character Phin, is on a journey to promote cleaner cars, on his way he meets some other Hollywood types that help explore cleaner cars, flex fuels, and a variety of other topics. Sponsored by the Center for American Progress this is a well funded project. If nothing else it is worth watching to see Ben Affleck say “If we do this shit, we do it my way, which is the way of the street”

I have to point out that corn based ethanol, in my opinion, is a complete waste of time. These videos have got the mark of ADM and other super huge agri-giants. In fact it seems like blatant corporate shilling for large argi-business. Don’t watch them to learn about the pros and cons of corn based ethanol, instead watch them as a funny way to teach people about fuel efficiency.

Contains adult material, you have been warned.
