One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. Deliveries start in 2011. Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Interesting in any case.
