What a difference a year makes – car tech

Secretary Steven Chu, from the Department of Energy and a Nobel Prize winner, enlightens us on the Auto Industry, in his 2010 talk. I located this video after publishing my post on “Greener Rides” and thought that I would share it with you to underscore the innovation taking place in transportation around the world. As Chu states we must continue to produce or manufacturer here in the United States and not only embrace a services-driven economy for sustainable long term growth.

For those of you with children in your lives, what a great conversation to have about the near future and their role in designing new and better transportation. You might consider taking the Matchbox Cars, Legos and Lincoln Logs or better yet imagine the destiny of our communities using items gathered from your recycle bin! New generations will create visions and plans for future infrastructure, cities, buildings, food, health, and medical systems, communications as well as education to name a few societal arenas that will benefit from an innovative Year 2500 point-of-view!

Now, go invent the future, it will be here before you know it! – alex
