Why Pure Play Energy Storage Companies Could Double for Investors

John, I wish I could just invest in this sector and not have to pick and choose companies.

There is no ETF comparable to a GDX or a PBW for the advanced battery sector, right?

You have suggested taking a small position in each of the 12 companies in your storage device maker table - can you think of any other way for the amateur to get involved without him having to try to become an electrical engineer/CFA?

Thanks John - that's a good explanation. I've got you on my watchlist so I look forward to your updates as progress is made or bumps in the road are discovered.

Lead-Carbon: A Game Changer for Alternative Energy Storage

John, not sure if you're still responding to comments on this article. But there is 1 issue that continues to trouble me about this company - why has it taken so long for this technology to reach market?

I'm not an electrical engineer so my understanding of the product development lifecycle is limited but it still seems like an awfully long period of time that they've been 'testing'. I mean, the company went public almost 5 years ago now and it seems they have little more than a 'memorandum of understanding' and the odd strategic alliance.

I would have thought that one of the major makers of lead acid batteries would be using their technology for existing applications by now, never mind prospective use in alternative energy.

What gives?

The best articles always seem to have the best discussions. Interesting that John Lounsbury is here commenting on your article because his articles similarly produce very intelligent discussions.

Thanks for sharing your very good work with us.
