One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Why grant them the privledge to spend our money in the first place? Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Its been improving over time, but the power density and cost issues are still steep for what exists thus far. Interesting in any case.
