The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?

Want I want is a cyborg horse that runs on grass, I think it could be possible, and then we wouldn't have to spend so much on roads. Given that is is possible to make fuel from grass now, it doesn't seem unreasonable that an organism could exist that used grass completely and made no waste :)
