2. If climate change doesn’t get us…

5. … peak oil will

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

7. What can be done?

8. 1992+ Tonatiuh, Coche Solar de Carreras

10. In Silicon Valley, a dollar can get you 10!

11. We must raise the bar to succeed 10 X

12. How can we deliver this performance?

13. 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…

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

15. What can we do in Fresno?

16. Much has already been done here

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

19. San José State has accepted the challenge

21. Wake Up!!! … to the Power of Solar

22. Thank you!
