This article was created back in 2009, and its author, Greengears (talk · contribs), has a fairly obvious conflict of interest. How the article has managed to survive is a mystery to me: I just went through and cleared out some of the worst of the fluff, but it still reads somewhat like a promo piece. He's the founder of two unremarkable companies - Pat’s Garage (G) (a redirect) and Green Gears (G) - and is a member of the American Council on Renewable Energy, but as far as I can tell neither of these are enough to confer notability.
