If climate change doesn’t get us…

If climate change doesn’t get us…

If climate change doesn’t get us…

… peak oil will

We have gridLock now & we will see gas lines in the future

What can be done?

1992+ Tonatiuh, Coche Solar de Carreras

In Silicon Valley, a dollar can get you 10!

We must raise the bar to succeed 10 X

How can we deliver this performance?

San José introduced solar in their first Automated Transit Network RFP Ensure that the ATN system is built … utilizing renewable energy … maximize energy efficiency and potentially be powered in whole or part by renewable energy. … and calculating carbon emissions reductions achievable through renewable energy evaluate cost/benefits of using renewable energy to offset all or a portion of the energy requirements Provide analysis of cost/savings and recommend specifications to execute energy-efficiency and renewable energy strategies…

How can we deliver on the solar skyways challenge? 2m 3m Solar Race Car averages 90 km/hr with 6 m2 solar panel Knowing it can be done, let’s ramp onto the Solar Highway … 17 X 2 seconds apart @ 90 km/hr = 50 m … Podcars have 50 m ÷ 3 m = 17 X more collection area than solar race cars!

What can we do in Fresno?

Much has already been done here

Much has already been done here

There is a unique and challenging approach 1. Technology: Engaging Universities with focus: High capacity electronics Suspended system 2. Government: Engaging Cities Encitra Modeling with UP students join ATNA 3. Economics: Engaging Industry first as mentors to students then as vendors building ATN then as buyers of ATN services

San José State has accepted the challenge

Wake Up!!! … to the Power of Solar

Thank you!
