Imagine taking a road trip, and never stopping for fuel. That’s the premise of the ICARE project, and Swiss engineer Mark Muller’s car that will journey around the world on solar-powered energy during the day and wind-powered energy at night.

The car, and its rotating group of passengers (two journalists will ride in it at all times), will leave in May, and will travel through 30 countries before returning in October of 2011. According to ICARE, “Through this world tour, interesting sustainable development initiatives, particularly mechanisms used to compensate for CO2 emissions, will be presented and given media coverage.”
