Denmark to launch Project Better Place pilot program
As our faithful readers are aware, we reported last November that the government of Denmark has been talking with Project Better Place about the possibility of setting up an electric car program along with a charging station network. Now comes word of the impending official announcement of the initial pilot program.
The Israeli business news publication Globes is reporting that the Danish government will announce that Shai Agassi's much touted Project Better Place, with financing help from its major investor, Israel Corp, will begin a program to study the feasibility of the project in Copenhagen and other locations.
Not only have Danish officials recently visited Israel to meet with the company, but a prototype of the project's electric car, based on the Renault Megane (pictured above) has already been shipped in the opposite direction and may be on hand for tomorrow's announcement.

I love it. If this would have been done ten years ago, there'd be no money to finance riots.

AES Solar Energy Farms likely to be stored in AES/Altairnano Power and Energy systems may be part of the equation. It is widely believed that Agassi, Israel and Alti/Aes have been talking for a while now. It is time they make an announcement now that AES went ahead with AES Solar. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/25/AR2008032502988.html?hpid=sec-metro
