Re: Battery Tech and the Electric Car

I'm not sure the best place to post this, but batteries and electric cars seems to be an appropriate fit. It seems researchers at MIT have made a pretty big leap in battery technology that's also applicable to electric cars. I know it's a feable excuse to admit that i'm not a scientist of any kind, and for the very reason i won't try to re-hash the science behind this development. I'll just say that it bodes very well, both for cars and for the larger grid fed by renewables. Oh, and this new tech is also very inexpensive.
