Neil Young’s electric car started a fire at his warehouse in early November and it has sparked a fervor of interest in his pet project to restore a 1959 Lincoln Continental into a symbol of his mission to “repower the American dream.” Sadly, the fire was started due to “operator error” according to Young and it also destroyed approximately 850,000 worth of guitar and other music memorabilia owned by the musician; but according to an associated website he states that his project will live on with its goal “to demonstrate alternative energies for transportation that are clean.” His LincVolt car will be rebuilt under the guiding mission to “build a zero emissions automobile that eliminates roadside re-fueling entirely, a safe powerful automobile that is comfortable and economic on both long trips and the commute to work, an automobile that can generate power to the home when it is parked, potentially creating an income stream for the owner.”
