Could this man single-handedly lift the United States out its dependence on oil and inspire the type of commitment and innovation needed to make it happen? I know that sounds crazy, but this type of high profile exposure is absolutely invaluable to the birth of a new industry.

Like going to the moon in the 60s, it's time to devote whatever resources are needed to enter the alternative energy era.
