Making Electric Transportation WorkNew Hampshire, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com] The automobile and electricity industries have avoided dramatic change for decades. Today, because of environmental and geopolitical concerns, auto companies and utilities are re-evaluating the fundamentals of how they do business. However, by working together and embracing change, many of these "legacy" companies could play a major role in ushering in an era of electric transportation. Dear Listeners -- While the written companion article for each episode of the Inside Renewable Energy podcast remains below, the associated audio files have necessarily been removed. We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate the support you gave to our podcast production.
Thank you,
There are many different visions of what what an electric transportation sector will look like. In this podcast, we'll explore a few views on how it may be created. Matt Mattila, a business strategy specialist with the Smart Garage program at the Rocky Mountain Institute, talks about the coming convergence of green buildings, a smarter grid and the roll-out of new electric vehicles. Joe Paluska, vice president of communications for Better Place, describes the company's systems integration approach to building out the vehicle-to-grid infrastructure. He'll talk about why electric transportation will look like today's mobile phone network.
Vijay Vaitheeswaran, environment and energy correspondent with the Economist, talks about his newest book, ZOOM: The Global Race to Build the Car of the Future. He'll also tell us why he's so hopeful that the automobile sector will embrace electric transportation and next-generation fuels. Inside Renewable Energy is a weekly audio news program featuring stories and interviews on all the latest developments in the renewable energy industries.

The driver was RUSH LIMBAUGH!
Jay was genuinely friendly and included several political obstacles...a popup of Al Gore and one of Ed Begley, and some visual obstructions---streamers, ball bursts, etc.
Rush did a credible job of staying on the course; and deliberly hit, rather than avoid Gore and Begley---he even backed up and hit them a second time!
Rush was very impressed with the ride; and my impression he was going to get one for his personal use.
Kudos to Jay for this very friendly competition and display of electric car prowess...and showing us a very different side of Limbaugh!
