You recently reported on \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=fisker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fisker\u003c/a>, which is based in Anaheim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>MIKE RAMSEY\u003c/strong>:\u003c/strong> Yeah, Fisker is one of these companies that several years ago got started when there was a big upsurge in interest in electric vehicles. And I have to say I think that \u003ca href=\"http://www.teslamotors.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tesla Motors\u003c/a> started the revolution of these small companies diving into starting electric vehicle programs, and a lot of that is because there were just simply no offerings from major manufacturers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, to its credit, came in and said, “We’re going to do this.” They built prototypes, captured the imagination of a lot of people and were able to raise a lot of money. Then comes along Fisker, which is a company that was founded by Henrick Fisker, who was a well-known designer for BMW and Aston Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he designed beautiful vehicles, and he was able to also get a lot of financing from wealthy investors to start a company to make a beautiful plug-in hybrid model.

He was so taken after visiting with Tesla with what they were doing and how they were doing it. When Toyota made the investment, it was a huge help to Tesla because it gave them credibility in the markets. It also gave them access to some of Toyota’s parts bin, which means they could buy parts at a reduced rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it gave them a stream of income because the company was going to be supplying batteries for a Toyota Rav4. So, \u003ca title=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2012/02/10/clean-car-diaries-tesla-unveils-and-fisker-stops-production/\" href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2012/02/10/clean-car-diaries-tesla-unveils-and-fisker-stops-production/\">Tesla has done much better than Fisker\u003c/a> in terms of producing cars that seem, so far, in the early days of its execution, to be much better, and they’ve gotten accolades and a lot of affirmation that they might be able to make it. That said, they’ve yet to produce a profit and are probably going to continue to incur losses for some time until they produce more vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>RACHAEL MYROW\u003c/strong>:\u003c/strong> So is your read of the all-electric sector that the era of romantic businessmen and those who find them appealing is just over?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>MIKE RAMSEY\u003c/strong>:\u003c/strong> I hate to say over, but I think there are going to be far fewer of these small startups. I don’t know how you break into that unless you have technology that is way beyond what is currently existing. I don’t rule out the possibility that that may happen – someone really has a huge advance in battery technology, and they can come in and do something that others haven’t. But I suspect that you’re not going to see as many of these electric vehicle startups. It’s a unique moment in history that happened and you may not see it again.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I don’t know how you break into that unless you have technology that is way beyond what is currently existing. I don’t rule out the possibility that that may happen – someone really has a huge advance in battery technology, and they can come in and do something that others haven’t.

What a second LBNL campus will yield is a great deal of traffic [and] inflated property values.” Proponents of the Lab point out that it will more than make up for the loss of property tax revenue by attracting spin-off businesses which will pay taxes.

What a second LBNL campus will yield is a great deal of traffic [and] inflated property values.” Proponents of the Lab point out that it will more than make up for the loss of property tax revenue by attracting spin-off businesses which will pay taxes. About 30 companies to date have been created using Lab technology, according to the lab website.

Moth storytellers stand alone, under a spotlight, with only a microphone and a roomful of strangers. The storyteller and the audience embark on a high-wire act of shared experience which is both terrifying and exhilarating. Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
