Who Needs an Electric Hummer?

Alex Tew selling dollar pixels on his advertising page milliondollarhomepage, Kyle MacDonald trading one red paperclip for a house and Karyn Bosnak asking visitors to help her out with her credit card debt on her cyberbegging site, were all successful at attaining their money raising objectives.

On the other hand, Dallas, TX resident Ed Mayhall on his Ed Needs a Hummer page, has raised only about $200 towards his goal of $120,000 (huh?). His last update was April 2005 where be complains, I guess people are not as rich as they were back in the day. Looking at his page, it’s not hard to see why the donations have been paltry. Who are you Ed, where’s your picture and how will you use that Hummer to better the world?

Convert a Hummer to electric is about a “green” company (just up the road in LA) named Left Coast Electric, that is focused on providing alternatives to using gasoline and foreign oil in transportation and industrial applications. They convert current gasoline-powered cars to pure electric. I think an electric Hummer would attract attention and help get the word out about alternative energy solutions. Advertising space could be sold on an electric Hummer to environmenally responsible companies. There might be enough money generated from the ads to finance the conversion!
