 WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - A U.S. team plans to drive from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole later this year to demonstrate the viability of alternative energy sources to replace fossil fuels, a spokesman said Monday.
The 1,000-mile journey to the South Pole will take 10 days using alternative fuel vehicles driven along a U.S.-developed ice highway, said Nick Baggarly, executive director of the "Zero South" expedition.
The expedition would "demonstrate the viability of these energy alternatives," Baggarly said, without specifying what types of alternative energy sources the group plans to use.
