Alternative Energy Storage: Cheap Outperforms Cool

Wait a second, I will miss your in-depth technical article. Maybe you can do both? ;)

How Will Temporary Decline in Oil Prices Impact Energy Sector?

"This is no time to go out and buy a gas-guzzler!"

Surely you are not saying people are gullible to think since gas prices are coming down it is a god sign to go back to our big, bloated cars? Nah. That would be short sightedness and lack of memory. Wait a second, that sounds familiar...

Lithium-Ion Batteries and Centerfolds: The Final Chapter

Indeed John it is the white elephant in the room. There is plenty in the work for electricity stored for EV, such as V2G, and a quick scan will show the great EV alternatives offered already. The real work is in developing smaller, cheaper and packing more power batteries. It's no different than looking back at the monstrous engine of the early 1900 that revved very slowly, consumed vast amounts of gas and produced very little power. 70~80 years later and we had squeezed more out of them than we thought possible.

It always amazes me how people get when it comes to new technologies. We will see smaller batteries for vehicles and we will see storage substations and there will be many techniques used in different segments. Oh and just look at the electric train industry with the rest of the world for technological innovations.
