Hopefully they will be able to use their prize money in further R&D to replace the oil-based insulating materials in many other situations as well. Anything that lessens our dependency on oil is a big step in the right direction. It’s a great idea to use the rice husk material like this in refridgerators.

Maybe we are learning, at last, to value our environment. Good luck to the "Husk" guys!

This is a splendid achievement, indeed! In my country, a group of engineers are aiming to introduce vehicles that run solely on vegetable oil. They've already experienced some success with it, which is enormously encouraging! <a href="http://battleopsbumblebee.com/" rel="nofollow">Battle Ops Bumblebee</a> Congrats to Husk Insulation.
