I just lost a bet to my wife. We were watching TV the other night, and I was telling her that something (can't remember what it was) reminds me of Shai Agassi. She asked me who it was, and I was shocked that she had never heard of him. I then told her that he is the center of he buzz around green technology, and that he is probably as famous as Brad Pitt, and that everyone know who he is.
My wife started laughing and made a quick round of phone calls to friends and family only to prove me dead wrong. None of the women knew who he was. A few of the men knew that he was a famous entrepreneur. One guy actually knew that he working on the electrical car vision.
So, please, if you already know who Brad Pitt is, and the name Shai Agassi kind of rings a bell but not really, go check out his wonderful performance on the Brookings institute panel. You'll learn that if you buy a car today in Israel or Denemark, you're likely to have to dump it in the trash in 2011, because everyone would be driving electrical vehicles for free by then. God willing.
