Felix Kramer somehow was able to put this conference together due to the interest of Dr. Andrew Grove the founder of Intel. Wanting to make a big deal of the opportunity EnergyRushTV was out in force to start what will be an ongoing series: Professor Plug In. A few days before we had tried out this new format with Dr. Frank at the Intersolar North America conference. We were playing with the new format when we met Chris Paine, the director of the film, Who Killed the Electric Car. Dr. Frank and Chris met and then we filmed an intro to our new series with Chris.

Once we knew we liked this short video format we started working on it in San Jose. There were so many opportunities and we videotaped segments in front of booths including PG&E, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and Plug In America where “Professor Plug-In” was able to interview the President of Plug In America, Linda Nichols.

Later Dr. Frank was able to show Andy Grove Trinity, the PHEV flex fuel car that he has been working on. TK and Dr. Frank gave Eva and Andy Grove a test drive and they were surprised at the power this car had. Lucky for our audience that EnergyRushTV had more multiple camera to catch the action. The former governor of Washington Gary Locke and Kyle Wang of Global Energy Exchange also traveled to San Jose to be there.
