1.6 million barrels of misconception: Robert LLewellyn at TEDxJesmondDene

The Talk: 1.6 million barrels of Misconception The Person: Robert is an occasional actor (Red Dwarf), TV presenter (Scrapheap challenge, How do they Do it, Hollywood Science, Top Trumps etc.). He has published 12 books, runs three video podcasts and tweets too much. Robert lives in Gloucestershire and is married to writer Judy Pascoe. They have 2 children, 2 dogs and between 3 and 5 chickens. Through his involvement with science and engineering on television Robert has been exposed to many cutting edge innovations in the transportation sector. He is fascinated by the development of the electric vehicle and the challenges such disruptive technology has on the status quo. In 2001, he had a ride in a very fast electric car in California and this experience clearly had a profound impact. In the last 3 years he has driven 38,000 miles in electric cars and so far hasn't run out on to the side of the road and burst into tears... In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
