   [1]Chief scientist in sports cars warning to women

     Sir David, who is due to retire as the UK's Chief Scientific
     Adviser at the end of the year, said individuals needed to change
     their behaviour.

     "I was asked at a lecture by a young woman about what she could do
     and I told her to stop admiring young men in Ferraris," he said.

     "What I was saying is that you have got to admire people who are
     conserving energy and not those wilfully using it."

   How much do you want to bet he drives a Prius?

   [2]Fausta links to this story, saying:

     The chief scientist might also want to warn men who like women in
     fast cars, too, lest he be accused of sexism. But, after all, if
     the chief scientist is a purist..

   Like most purists, he's narrow-minded and thus uninformed. This
   [3]Tesla roadster is 100% electric, and it goes from 0 to 60 in under
   4 seconds.

   tesla

   Sir David also forgets that women can [4]drive their own sportscars.
