This guy has very little in the way of what we would consider societal or moral restraint. Whatever he can create is not a problem, and anything he creates will be beneficial, with no apparent downside.

Another French company, MDI, has been doing a grand tour of the world with it's air-powered cars since 2000. Every year it appears in a new country, with the same prototype, and announces that it'll be selling compressed-air-powered cars within months. Often with funding by the local government. Nothing ever comes of it - not even reliable data on the range and top speed of the prototype.
This looks to be different. An established company. And using the compressed air not for main power, but for regenerative braking. It has some actual credibility.
I probably won't be around to see it, but it is cool, nevertheless.
Very cool indeed. Of course the technology isn't as impressive as how fast Jennifer made a clothing selection. She's obviously not a human female. Also, in another instance of technology creating jobs, who's going to clean the fingerprints, dust, and coffee rings off all that glass?

I can't wait for LED's to take over, right now they are either insanely expensive or still around the light output of a 30-50 watt incandescent.
Fluorescent bulbs really do not last around here, our power grid has way too many fluctuations.
I buy 100w-equivalent fluorescents. It helps. They don't like cold weather. I've had a few that didn't make their five-year life expectancy, but most are still going.

My experiences are the exact opposite for some reason, I have fluorescent lights on the outside in the freezing temperature and they last the longest! Go figure!
