We were hanging around in L.A. at Ted Levine's place, when he suddenly came up with an ingenius idea: What about shooting a clip where the Solartaxi meets a 1870's cowboy? Let's just assume that technical evolution would have passed the oil-based technologies, and Louis explains the concept of solar energy in a way even a cowboy of the old days would have understood. We got the camera out, and off we went. May you enjoy watching the clip as much as we enjoyed the shoot.

The Solartaxi has reached the sunny state! The hot California sun took us along the West Coast and about 40 years after the flowerpower movement we brought a new message to "Sun" Francisco: Love, peace & solar power! Furthermore, we visited Tesla Motors where we have tested the limits of the Solartaxi: Click our video to see a really sustainable car race!

Amongst the 26 countries the Solartaxi has travelled through so far, China is certainly one of the most impressive. As we reached Beijing, we felt sad that this adventure is almost over. However, Beijing, a city boiling hot to be ready for the olympic feast in a couple of weeks still had some magic to discover. We had a look at the sights of this year main event, and we tried to find out why Beijing wants to be the host of the first "Green Olympics", and how it wants to achieve it.And it came to the point where we would find out if three weeks of organisation would be enough to put the Solartaxi on top of the Great Wall...

After a couple of troublesome, exciting and adventurous days in Shanghai, the long road from there to Beijing awaits us. On it, a new record wants to be celebrated: 30 000 solar powered road kilometers! We already got the fireworks ready, when suddenly something interferes
with our plans...Watch the video to find out what went wrong and how Louis Palmer got some confucian wisdom
