End Britan's Oil Addiction

Shai Agassi: Alternative energy pioneer.

The Israeli former software entrepreneur, Shai Agassi, left his job in German software giant SAP in 2007. Oil dependency is the root cause of conflicts in the Middle East.. «If you can run one country without oil, you can run the whole world without oil.. If you can do it with car technologies, it could happen in15 years»
Therefore he started up Better Place. And with more than £120 million in venture capital, he wants to applies the business model of phones, in to cars, where the costumer buy or leases an electric vehicle, firm a partner car company, and then they can pay per-mile, for battery usage.

Gordon Brown said that electric cars has not matched by a commitment to the infrastructure...
«Take the Millennium Dome, Imagine somebody said to you: 'We're going to spend £800 millions on the off-chance that we'll get the entire country going without oil – oh, and £650 millions will go into increase green jobs tomorrow morning. Would you say it's worth a try?»

Shai Agassi only say this is talk about white elephants, but I do believe in this.
We have about half the oil again, and we continue in this pace it will soon be finished, so we have to find a new possible type of doing things.
The second is that this will be very good for stopping global warming.
