What’s Andy Grove doing lately? You may remember him as the Intel Chairman. Good company, bad stock. Anyway, he’s back in the news. He recently interviewed with Ken Thomas of the Associated Press regarding crash course in electric, plug-in hybrid vehicles. “The most important thing I would like to do is light that almost half-assumed truth up in neon lights: Electricity in transportation has to be done. It is urgent. It is important that everything else is secondary,” He joins a growing list of notables including former CIA director James Woolsey, former Secretary of State George Schultz and Google Inc.’s philanthropic arm, Google.org. Grove pushes the concept of retrofitting existing cars as well as the development of new models. Plug-in prototypes are being tested by the likes of General Motors and
