The last time we spoke to Steve Heckeroth, we were discussing the history of climate change, the source of fossil fuels, the way agriculture helped stabilize the Earth’s climate after the last ice ageand how it can do the same again.
This climate graph is in that one
Along the way we discovered that Steve Heckeroth – founder and CIO of cleantech company Solectrac and maker of high-efficiency electric farm tractors, sure — but Steve also has a long history of building EVs dating back to the 1990s, when he converted a Type III Karmann Ghia to electric power to solve the root cause of California’s original 1990 ZEV mandate.
That wasn’t even his day job. Steve is also an architect, specializing in designing solar-powered “umbrella homes” in California that produced their own power and used the insulating properties of the Earth around them to keep them at a more or less constant temperature.
In other words, Steve is an interesting man, and I think you’ll enjoy hearing more about the journey that led him to where he is today. Listen to it and then let us know what you think of this latest episode of CleanTech Talk in the comments section below or on the page.
