Wally Rippel on the 2GreenEnergy Report
The 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.
