Eco-marathon, 2009
May 6th, 2009 |
Am off to Germany tonight to cover the 2009 Eco-Marathon organised by Shell this weekend.
Will get a chance to interview Royal Dutch Shell’s current (but outgoing) chief executive Jeroen van der Veer. (see here for an interview with him by The Guardian’s George Monbiot in Jan 09.)
He’s supposedly going to say the transition to electric mobility is going to take decades, hence the need for fuel efficiency. While I’m all for the latter, I’m not so convinced that the transition will take decades. Already, pundits are predicting 2015 as the year when the monopoly that fuel combustion engines currently have on the world will finally be broken.
Any burning questions for the chief, do email me!
