Probably one of the most important articles I've read - ever.

In short, this guy - one guy - is shifting the automotive energy paradigm to electricity. His backers - the nations Israel & Denmark... and $200 million in venture capital. Extraordinary.

Amazing Article. 

I think his idea is brilliant and is by far the best idea I've heard so far to release the world from its dependancy on oil.  I think it really has potential if everybody jumps on board. I'm interested in seeing where this goes and how it develops.

Just what I was thinking, great sounding Idea, if alot of big time backers get on board and it's successful we may see something, or 2 things may happen.

1. we never hear of it.
2. he meets with an unfortunate "accident"

Too many powerful people in the world stand to lose alot from going away from oil.

Amazing. If I had finished school and got my engineering degree, I'd be kicking this dude's door down for a job yesterday. I think he really has a viable solution (if not THE solution) the automotive side of the oil equation.

some lazy effin' readers on this board....

More like, when I start reading on some automotive groundbreaking achievement and they start spending more time telling me about the idiot mothermake the beast with two backser than the actual invention, I typically just go into "I don't care mode". Square jaw? Does it improve gas mileage? Seriously, tell us your life-story after your new thing succeeds.
