Sir Richard Branson is the most eccentric guy who is always in the news for his unconventional ways. I give 5 stars to this guy, our own vijay mallya is more or less like this guy, but mallya is better known for his lavish lifestyle and always looking for king size in everything he does. Ok getting back to Sir Richard...he has his first brush with business when he was 15, after that there was no stopping him. He started Virgin Atlantic Airways and the Virgin Records music label somewhere in the 80's, virgin mobile which captured the teen and college go-ers market. He has shown special interest in space tourism and i bet he will better that art of space travel by pumping in money for a galactic space flight ferrying space enthusiasts into space. But the latest is to do with toying the idea of bio fuels on virgin aircrafts. Three cheers to him for making this bold step....his company's boeing flight 747-400 flew from London to Amsterdam on Sunday, carrying in one of its four fuel tanks a 20-percent mix of biofuel derived from coconut and babassu oil. He may have played an interesting game with this new mix, as it may be the only way for airlines to keep the prices and yet operate their flights inspite of soaring gasoline prices. But as usual the critics are calling this another publicity stunt, their only argument is that sacrificing food crops for fuel will make the food supply scarce. Are there people sane? I dont get this logic at all, Sir Richard isnt cooking rice in his kitchen and pouring rice and sambar gravy into the fuel tank. If he isnt putting in rice or wheat or corn into the tank, how come there will be food shortage? Why are these morons putting a spanner in the wheel of R & D? Anyone around explain this to me?
