Lead Acid Batteries: How Cheap Beat Cool at Google

I've seen battery Tech ideas come and go. The fact remains, this news came out on April Fool's day, yet almost two weeks later, AXPW's stock price remains unaffected. The Market appears to have ignored the News.

Is Google known for seeking "cheap" solutions?

Just an opinion(aka paultaut)

Good Morning, did you read the "H.R. 1835" article?

Any thoughts on AXPW as it would travel through a CNG vehicle environment?

John: what's going on with AXPW?

I don't understand why there aren't more insiders buying, even Averill seems to have stepped aside.

The move below $1 has done it for me. Maybe its going down because of the economy but I no longer have any faith in it.

John L: What's $4 Billion here or there between friends?

Instead of subsidizing the Oil companies, I would use it to streamline the EPA"s Permiting Regulations. If its approved on the Federal Level, its approved.

Its going to be Built in your back yard.

An example of Milking the system. O'Hare airport was in the process of expansion. Homes being built in the area were selling at substantially reduced prices because of the expansion. Once in, the Home Owners lobbied and won in their efforts to tone down the Noise Pollution in their area. Cost the Taxpayer hundreds of Millions extra.

Building in coastal and flood prone areas, Areas subject to intermittant Storm damage. Disaster strikes, gee whiz, who would have thought that the flood of the Century would be repeated within 20 years. Why should the rest of the nation foot the bill for idiocy?

If you put yourself at risk, you alone are responsible.

I agree with spending on renewable inclusions into the infrastructure program. What I am concerned about is whether the small "new" tech companies will get anything at all. There will be a bidding process, will any of them be able to compete?

You are talking about "Bang for the Buck". In the present low energy cost environment, I believe that the lowest cost bidders will get the contracts not the ones with future cost savings.

Its the American Way.

John, just watch. On this side of the Pond, the only Real Change was the President, otherwise its the same old Pork Pushers.

If it was as simple as you believe, TARP would have passed without a change back in September/Oct., the votes were there for the Dems, but they backed off when the Republicans opposed it. Both House and Senate have been under one roof since 2006.

Besides, in case you missed it, Obama has already stated that he expects to sign the bill sometime in the next two weeks.

Watch.

D. Mc: Is that it, FSLR? I believe ESLR was building a plant in Connecticut.

I do not know whether they are still viable or not.

Maya: the opposition was 100% of all Republicans.

Do you actually think it will be passed with a unanimous Republican Vote against it. That's not the way it works.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell, that the Democrats will pass it in its present form and ultimately take "all" of the blame if it does not work, Not with interim elections due in 2010. IMO

Its all going to fly according to Green endeavors. Your product better be Green.

Take the Solar sector, how many solar companies are purely American with American production facilities. Are there any? I do not have a clue.

Will Solar projects stall because American Companies cannot provide the required panels? I do not think so.

The same thing will occur on the Battery side.

While Buying American sounds good, excluding foreign companies from the bidding process will not go over well internationally. Size will matter. Give a company like Altair a large contract, how many years would it take for them to expand their employee base. The same for all of the small vendors, they would all need cash before the fact to expand to the size needed by the time actual infrastructure building takes place.

The big boys will get the projects, the small vendors might get sub-contracts, if they are lucky. IMO

Since I own both ALTI and ABAT( sub $1 for ABAT), I thank you for your continued inclusion of both in your list.

Good advertising, I have just added Zenn motors below $2 because of the USA Eestor battery patent.

I understand that a Green Car is having financial problems in your neck of the woods, no financing, yadda.

Know anything about it?

Cleantech: The Sixth Industrial Revolution

Hey John, remember Zenn cars and EEstor Ultra capacitator idea. EEstor apparently has received a US patent for its Battery, specs as yet unreleased.

PS its great to be back.
