British entrepreneur Dale Vince is more than just an eccentric millionaire — he’s a millionaire with a mission. He’s used his wind power company to push for radical shifts in the world around him, developing a new model for new electric cars and a nationwide network for recharging them on renewable energy and using new venues to spread a message about sustainable living, like purchasing a soccer club and banning meat from the stadium.
