Fueling a New Transportation Economy with Mike Kuby
Mike Kuby teaches Geography at Arizona State University. In this episode we discuss his research into transportation, energy and optimal locations for hydrogen and electric fueling stations as we build a new energy transportation infrastructure. In a country where petroleum fueling stations are ubiquitous, where will should we place the first alternate fuel refueling stations? Rather than just following the patterns of the existing infrastructure, Mike has used research into driver behavior to find the locations for battery and fuel cell stations that will build a network that can serve the most vehicles most effectively.
