Heated competition on the Web

According to BiofuelsDigest: In Florida, a titanic battle of votes on the final day of the YouChu 2010 competition, between Enerkem and Idaho Sustainable Energy, and a late disqualification of another competitor for voting irregularities, marked the end of a spirited competition between 33 companies — 18 who received DOE awards last November, and 15 challenger companies who believed their technologies offered more attractive options. In YouChu, the readers took the role of Dr. Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy, and awarded mythical grants to projects based on project plans submitted by contestants, and information released by DOE on its own award winners.
