Week in Review Vol VI: Issue 238: Tesla’s Musk opens technology doors to promote electric vehicles – paulpaylesspower@gmail.com – Gmail
TESLA’S MUSK OPENS TECHNOLOGY DOORS TO PROMOTE ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Elon Musk – the co-founder of Tesla Motors – created quite a ruffle last week when he pledged that inventions on his electric cars and batteries would be free for anyone to use “in good faith”. Tesla has more than 160 US patents for things like a system to protect battery packs form overcharging, according to the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The other main headline of the week was a remark from Warren Buffett on his willingness to double the USD 15bn committed to renewables by Berkshire Hathaway.
