SuperNova #1: [Aren\'t EV\'s and solar are too expensive than fossil fuels?] "What we have is an imbalance in value sets. In fossil fuels, you have to create secure shipping lanes and channels, and you expand emissions. We don\'t have a level playing field, because when it comes to solar energy, you don\'t have those issues. Nobody\'s ever attacked a solar farm or created a war over a solar farm. So there\'s an imbalance in the costs allocated to the different energy sources\\u201d

\\xa0

SuperNova #2: [What people should watch for when they move to clean energy?] "Nothing. Solar is the fastest-growing industry in the world today. Jobs are being lost in coal, jobs are being lost in oil - but jobs are not being lost in solar. That\'s for sure.\\u201d\\xa0

Ah-Ha: In 1999, I sat in front of an iMac. And I looked at it and I went: \\u201ciSun\\u201d, and registered the brand before the iPod, iPad, iPhone, or everything else "i\\u201d. Then we launched the original iSun solar mobile charger with the sun brand in 2002. We went to Radio Shack and they said: \\u201cwhen can we have it and how many?\\u201d It was amazing.

WTF or F: \\xa0Ice storm in Montreal in 2002. It was horrendous. All the power was knocked out.
