Wally Rippel on the 2GreenEnergy Report

PhotobucketThe other day, esteemed physicist and electric vehicle engineer Wally Rippel dropped by the television studio and talked to me about a range of cool issues. 

The type of guy Wally is becomes clear when you understand an experiment he likes to do.  He asks an average American to name a famous living tennis player, a billionaire, a movie star, a basketball star, a criminal, and a musician.  All very easy, right?  Then he asks the name of a famous living inventor.  Practically no one can do that. 

His conclusion?  We simply don’t value inventors and scientists.  He points out that until we create a culture that values innovation, we won’t have innovation.  It’s that simple.

Wally, you’re quite a guy.
