This week on TreeHuggerTV you can take a trip with us to Boston to meet some amazing men and their driving machines. The AltWheels Festival brings together a diverse array of alternative fuel vehicles and innovators for a weekend of learning, discussion, and showing off. Garage tinkerers, hybrid hackers, MIT professors, government officials and auto industry giants all play their part in moving the US towards energy independence.
