Greg Offer: Battery electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells and biofuels. Which will be the winner?

http://www.iq2if.com Greg Offer, a Research Fellow at Imperial College, starts this talk with a prediction: by 2050 all cars will be electric. Why? Because the alternative is catastrophe. The personal transport sector is going through a period of great disruption at the moment, where new business models from organisations like ZipCar and BetterPlace are leading the way.

The inaugural If Conference, from debate forum Intelligence Squared, took place on November 25-26th November in London. More than 30 celebrated scientists, award winning architects, farsighted futurologists and other brilliant minds shed light on the excitements and the dangers of tomorrow's world.
