Lithium Ion Batteries and GEVs: False Gods for the New Millennium

Marvin,

Actually, using corn as fuel is a great idea if a political party wishes to reward farmers for selling their votes. I am certain that you know this comment is spot-on!

As Gibby once said to Martin Tupper on the series Dream On when in need of a particular service, just bribe someone Marty, this is America!

Li-ion Batteries and How Cheap Beat Cool in the Chevy Volt

Wow, I feel so much more reassured knowing GM is on the cutting edge of new technology. These guys make Microsoft appear as customer sensitive when selling beta testing products as finished goods!

BTW, just wait until Bolivia gets the idea that lithium will become a uniquely required element with a significant shortage in place. Additionally, just trust the American car makers who state repeatedly with a straight face, “We swear buyers, it will be different this time!”
