Solar Taxi to visit CITRIS at Berkeley

Link: citris-uc.org

July 14, 2008: 10:30am - 11:30am

Location: 290 Hearst Memorial Mining Building, UC Berkeley
For the first time in history, a solar-powered car is driving around the world without any carbon emissions. Swiss adventurer Louis Palmer is taking a small blue environmentally-friendly taxi around the world. The solar-electric two-seat taxi with attached trailer is an attempt to call attention to global warming while providing solutions for oil independency.

With a full component of batteries, the Solar Taxi has an autonomy of almost 200 miles. With additional energy from the solar cells on a sunny day, it can travel almost
260 miles. The vehicle has a top speed of 60 miles an hour and needs no gasoline at all.

By the time the Solar Taxi travels the Earth, it will have been to 40 different countries upon five continents, including the United States.

As always, these talks are free, open to the public and broadcast live online at mms://media.citris.berkeley.edu/webcast, and questions can be sent via Yahoo IM to username: citrisevents.

COME WIN A CHANCE TO RIDE IN THE SOLAR TAXI!
