Segway's P.U.M.A.

I read about Better Place about a year ago and thought it sounded very neat. This thread made the idea pop back into my head and I'm glad to see that Jason knew about it too. Coincidentally, TED.com just posted Shai Agassi's talk on Project Better place for us all to enjoy.

Holland is known for being a bike country. We have bicycle paths everywhere. I really agree that they would be wise investments for other countries.

Oh and Xantar really envies Europe's train system. You can go from Amsterdam to Paris in a few hours. And to Berlin... there's just a very fast train network, it a really good alternative to flying.
