"Making it is fun and liberating," he says, "but I'm just too busy."</description><pubDate>Wed, 26 Sep 2007 01:52:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>BP's answer to food-based ethanol</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/09/17/100259542/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/09/17/100259542/index.htm</guid><description>Can a poisonous plant become a biodiesel hero and help African economies in the process?</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Sep 2007 10:02:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Archer Daniels Midland profit soars</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/30/news/companies/bc.adm.results.reut/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/30/news/companies/bc.adm.results.reut/index.htm</guid><description>Archer Daniels Midland Co. said Monday its quarterly profit more than doubled, largely due to one-time gains of more than $600 million, though its processing businesses were hurt by a drop in ethanol sales volume and declining margins in some lines.</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2007 02:03:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Hydrogen-bombing down the track</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/03/09/cars.hydrogen.popsci/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/03/09/cars.hydrogen.popsci/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>There's something disconcerting about driving a high-speed oval for the first time, and it's easy to identify: As you approach either of the steeply banked turns, you don't slow down. </description><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:28:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Here comes the sun</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/07/09/100121802/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/07/09/100121802/index.htm</guid><description>Three months ago, Kevin Wall sold his Mercedes.
