Solar Taxi powers its way through Chicago

News Room | Aug 14th, 2008 |

The Sears Tower welcomes another history maker to Chicago. Swiss adventurer Louis Palmer will stop at the country’s tallest building on Monday, August 18, as part of his world tour in his solar-powered vehicle, the “Solartaxi”

With climbing gas prices, Palmer’s Solartaxi is traveling 32,000 miles – visiting 40 countries on five continents – without spending a single penny on gas or releasing a single emission into the air. It is the first car driving around the world on the energy of the sun alone, and this is the first time the car will be in Chicago.

Palmer and his Solartaxi will be on display at the Sears Tower, which is dedicated to environmental stewardship. He will also give a presentation on the Solartaxi’s background and green features!

When & Where: Monday, August 18, 2008 12:00 p.m. – 2 p.m.
You can view this beauty at the Sears Tower (on Wacker Drive, at the southwest corner near the Skydeck entrance) 233 S. Wacker Drive, Chicago
