Solartaxi in Dunedin NZ:
Louis Palmer presented at the Centre for Innovation at the University of Otago last night! For those that came along thanks for the questions and if you want more information just post the site or contact Thomas or myself at Design Studies.

Summary:
Louis Palmer traveled overland from the heart of Switzerland via 18 countries to the Middle East and India, from where he took a ship to his next destinations India and Indonesia – to reach Bali in time for the Climate Change Conference in early December, where the Solar taxi became a major attraction at the gates of the summit, where it served to give an emission-free lift to, amongst others, Peter Garrett, Australia’s new Minister for the Environment, Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the Nobel Prize winning IPCC, and Bianca Jagger, President of the World Future Council, and Michael Bloomberg, City Major of New York.

In Bali, he met Mike Fincken, Captain of the “Rainbow Warrior II”, who was so enthusiastic about the idea of touring the world emission free that he spontaneously invited the Solar taxi to find a temporary home on board of the Greenpeace ship – which was bound for Whangarei, New Zealand.

He liked the ideas ( OMOCO TEAM WELL DONE AGAIN for 2007 development)
