Are Energy Storage Investors Chasing Their Own Tails? [View article]
A handful of US battery makers is scrambling for government support ahead of a deadline this week as the US struggles to win back lost ground from Asian competitors in one of the world’s next important technologies.
The race is also the first test of how the administration will use the near-$190bn in stimulus money earmarked this year to support “green” technologies, from alternative fuels to energy-efficient building materials.
Advanced batteries are seen as a strategic technology, given their importance to electric and hybrid vehicles, and their military applications.

While Mr Peterson's and Konrad's posts are fun to read we're concerned that not enough attention has been paid by them to
1 Laws of thermodynamics 2 HEAT RATE - second law 3 CAPACITY FACTOR - reality
"Nonetheless, there appears to be opportunity to make lots of money trying to develop alternate renewable energy sources.
Selling wind farms and solar electric generation system to those who do not under stand the laws of thermodynamics, HEAT RATE, and CAPACiTY FACTOR looks equally lucrative too."

We are becoming more convinced that there is a BTU in problem with what goes into energy storage.
Gasoline, regular unleaded, (typical) gallon 114,100 BTU = 1.00 gallon (typical)
Q How much does a gallon of gasoline weigh?
A 2.69 to 2.91 kg (5.93 to 6.42 lbs), depending on temperature, type and blend
114,100/ 5.93 = 19,241.15 and 114,100/6.42 = 17,772.59 which means that gasoline contains about twice as
many BTUs per pound a coal.
