The Last Mile

First off, thanks to everyone who commented on our opening post. We appreciate your interest and look forward to some interesting discussions.

We have a lot of interest in renewable energy and found it interesting that Texas oil guru T. Boone Pickens is looking at wind power. A recent proposal to landowners reveals a plan for as many as 2000 turbines with a production capacity of 2000 to 4000 megawatts.

Imagine a Texas landscape better known for windmills than oil derricks…

And I wouldn’t bet against him. I saw Mr. Pickens during an informal Q&A at an alternative fuels conference last year and he has no plans to slow down.

We are pleased to welcome you to The Last Mile, our official Segway blog. Now you can stay up to date on the latest info posted by the Segway team. We’ll not only talk about our innovative products like the Segway PT, but we’ll also share our thoughts about the industry, the community, and everything Segway. We’d love to hear from you too, so please post comments on posts that are of interest if you have a new perspective to share.

You can expect to see posts from a variety of people on our team. Sometimes they’ll be informal and brief; others will be more structured. We hope you’ll find all of them valuable and a bit entertaining every now and then.

Why “The Last Mile?” Great question.

Segway was founded on the premise of providing an innovative solution to short-distance travel. The Last Mile is then, quite literally, the gap that we’re trying to fill in the transportation mix. It keeps us focused (it’s easy to think of all sorts of crazy applications for balancing technology) and we thought it’d be a nice name for the blog.

So sit back, enjoy, subscribe to the feed, and visit often to learn about what we’re up to.
