INDEX:Award 2009 | Better Place

http://www.designtoimprovelife.dk -- Shai Agassi, Founder and CEO of Better Place of Palo Alto, California, has accepted the INDEX:Award 2009 in the Community category for his Better Place systems design. The Better Place project envisions an entire infrastructure serving all stakeholders -- drivers, utility companies, automakers, etc. -- in moving from gas-powered to electrically powered vehicles. Featured in this video from the Copenhagen awards ceremony is Anders Eldrup, CEO of DONG Energy, which has entered an agreement with Better Place to roll out Europe's first major. INDEX: Design to Improve Life gives the richest prize for design in the world -- 500,000 euros -- on a biennial basis, as the Danish government's outreach program for humanitarian design. Design to Improve Life is Denmark's INDEX: to a better world.

Just didnt like the whole Edison intro. Not so fond of him bc the story with Tesla and frying an elephant.

Me parece un concepto verdaderamente increíble y realizable por el bien del planeta y por ende de la raza humana, pero me pregunto como va la industria petrolera a sabotear como siempre lo ha hecho, todo intento por de una vez por todas quitarnos nuestra dependencia a los hidrocarburos?
