Louis Palmer is a school teacher from Switzerland who is on a world wide tour to raise awareness of global warming and the affects that petroleum has on the world. The alternative solution he’s demonstrating to get around is a
solar taxi. It was conjured up when he was younger traveling to different countries seeing first hand the affects of global warming. With the help of whole
group of people ranging from college students to friends, to industry professionals, they’re able to piece together a three wheel vehicle trailering a
Q-Cells solar panel with backup Zebra batteries. It gets 700 watts about 1 horse power. The trip started on July 3, 2007 and is currently in the San Francisco,
USA. So if you see him passing by on the streets
honk or stop by and say hello.
