219 Greenconnect

Innovators needed! The challenge: build a vehicle that will run 5 miles on alternate power. 219 GreenConnect host Kathy Sipple speaks with Bill Halliar of The Alternate Power Initiative, the organizer of Race for the Future. This annual event is sponsored by the city of Whiting, Indiana and British Petroleum. They are looking for independent inventors interested in building vehicles powered by alternate energy sources to compete in a race in August 2013. All are invited to compete, independent American inventors are particularly encouraged to enter. The purpose is not only to discover new sources of energy and means to store energy but also to give encouragement to inventors.
