I'm an alumni from the Imperial MBA (also ex technical lead at primelocation.com). Is it just the pitches on Sunday that are open, or is it ok to drop in at other times during the event too? Hi.

Going electric you won’t decrease Air Pollution because, 50 % of the electricity is produced by burning COAL. By the way a Jetta Diesel, TDI for $23000 makes 40MPG. With a full tank of Chevy Volt, driving non-stop, you make 37MPG, plus $3 or more, the price of electricity you charged 16.0-kW-hr lithium-ion, the hefty $10000 of the 750-pound battery pack. Using Chevy Volt, in the Electric Mode Only, Charging and Discharging the battery pack every day, is going to cost you $1000 in electricity, plus $3000 in the battery amortization, with a TOTAL of $4000 per year. Because the battery life will be shorten 2.5 times, from 8 years in pure hybrid mode to 3.3 years in pure electric mode.

I remember Professor Ammon Salter talking about Kodak's missed opportunity in the digital camera space in the Business School in 2008, around the time the first iPhone was making headway... He used it as a case study of Clayton's 'Innovator's Dilemma' and predicted their rapid downfall unless they turned themselves around rapidly...
