Congressman Thomas Massie is not your typical member of Congress. Massie is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), an innovator, and a patent-holding inventor. In what might be shocking to most, the Republican-leaning libertarian lawmaker is the self-proclaimed "greenest" member of Congress, living on a farm in rural Kentucky that is completely off the grid and powered by a repurposed Tesla battery. Massie appears in the film Innovation Race where he demonstrates his newest invention from his Kentucky farm and discusses what steps are needed to return the US patent system to its former glory.
