I suspect that your proposal is to much for one year. My personal inclination is to focus on conservation regardless of fuel/energy source. I very much like the Idea of a meet up at Bonneville.
I recall discusions in the 1980's about the energy sources for home heating and the comparative cost of each, and the idea that servived was that as the amount of energy needed droped the cost/unit mattered less and less. In our case as the amont of energy needed by a vehicals to go 60mph on the high and in stop and go trafic is reduced the energy source/cost becomes erelivant. this would also result in the return of EV's as a viable option for more and more people...
So for the first year simply organize the event find and solve those problems then go on, in subcequent year with other bigger ideas.
