VIDEO - Roger Gagné was frustrated by a lack of action on climate change. He wrote scads of letters, he wrote articles, and he even created the Climate Plan Alberta website where 84 businesses and organizations joined him in a call for Alberta to develop a meaningful climate change action plan.

So he took his inspiration for the sign guy on Facebook and created a sign that says "Alberta is not ready for a world moving away from fossil fuels. Change my mind."He's now made almost 40 trips onto the streets of Calgary, Alberta's oil capital, and many other towns and cities in southern Alberta.

We talk to Roger about how he became the climate change sign guy in Calgary and how it’s going.

In Part 2 of our story on Kumson's Electric Race Team we head out on the trails with the team to see the electric quads in action.

The team is the first and only electric race team in Canada and have piled up a series of wins on the race circuit.

We talk to Sam Kumson about these amazing machines, playing fair with powerful electric machines and his favorite aspect of electrifying quads.

Oh, and the quads look good too, decked out in Pokeman graphics. Pikachu is the beloved Electric-type Pokémon, which seems perfect for these electrified quads.

SEE THE TEAM IN ACTION in our VIDEO:

Kumson's Electric Race Team is the first and only electric quad racing team in Canada. Sam Kumson, from Ryley, Alberta got the idea for electrifying quads after he added solar to his quad trailer. He thought why not electrify the quads too?

These quads are quick off the line, fast and very low maintenance.

We meet Sam in his shop to hear the origin story of Kumson's Electric Race Team.
