Rethinking Energy: Is it time to reinvent the wheel?
In the 1970s teenager Frank Nasworthy actually did reinvent the wheel and it revolutionized skateboarding. Today, Goodyear and others are trying to reinvent the wheel once again.

In today’s economy and climate, we may have to think about reinventing the way we produce energy. Rather than drilling for it down deep beneath the surface, can we harvest from the abundant energy found in the environments around us?
