Since a child going through the first oil crisis the idea of reducing automobile emissions and to not waste the limited supply of stored energy on the planet has been important to me. Through a life spent in motorsports, automobile business and Real Estate I have acquired a good stock of knowledge and connections. The X Prize has set the stimulus to connect the dots. Today with our venture Edison2 we are trying to change the world to global implications. We believe that efficiency in the automobile is by far the most important first step. Through our very light car and thanks to the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize we will bring a viable proof of concept to the public attention. A car which requires less for opperation as well as production and maintenance. A car that can be recycled easily, a car that costs less in every way but remains safe and user friendly. A time appropriate method of building a car that is more sustainable. As a father of four and a human being that is what I can bring to the effort. I will give it my best. Thank you
