Boost button?

Funny how I've read posts on F1 forums of people ridiculing Champ Car for having a boost button, but now that may be the only solution to see a freakin' pass in F1.

I never understood why the FIA is introducing KERS because it's a silly idea. There are other methods of developing "green" technology. Having an engine freeze does not help since it hinders the development of more fuel-efficient technology.

What's your take?
