His development project research was about solar and wind power programs in Latin America.
While at the State of New York, he managed the clean bus, alternative fueled and electric car programs. Leitman can REALLY provide insight into Who Really Killed The Electric Car and how electric car has risen since.
He talks about Building Your Own Electric Vehicle and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle and how with alternative fuels, we can begin the transition to an all electric car fleet.
Since his upcoming book is Green Lighting, Seth Leitman has a wide breath of clean energy expertise.
Seth will then show audiences how cutting-edge, positive environmental products and political changes are occuring to shift our economy and energy change toward a more green, clean and energy efficient world.
