Solar Bug - Electric Car 06/14/2008 Karma: 0  
PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

…My dream is to be able to build an electric car that most anybody can afford to buy and drive.

...Ninety-five percent of the people I talked to said -- You’ll never do it!

The response, not only from the people in the United States, but from around the world…has been overwhelming… I get emails every day sayin -- Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s going to change the world!.
