MIT World: From IT to Cleantech: New Sources of Innovation

Shai Agassi presents an ambitious and dramatic plan to create a battery run car, a system of battery switching stations, and a subscription plan for drivers to buy miles the same way we buy cell phone minutes.

Agassi begins at 8 minutes in, talks ~1/2 hour and then Q&A is ~1 hour.

Wow, MIT World is at 620 full-length videos now. When I worked on that project I think it was < 300. The Idea Explorer is great fun too.

Need a new idea? They’ve got an “easy button” for that too.
