NREL, A123Systems Join on Battery Research
This will be a great combination - the very capable research abilities of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the cash-infused private manufacturing company, A123Systems. If we are going to switch over to hybrid cars in the coming years we are going to have to create batteries that can hold more charge for longer periods of time.
Within 10 years half the automobiles on the road will be battery powered. They will be able to go 200 miles on a charge and be as capable as our current autos. Most power plants will be powered by natural gas or wind and some solar. It will be a wonderful thing to witness. We are so fortunate to live in this era of super technology, intelligence and entrepreneurial approaches to problems.
That would make my dreams come true. I agree with you, anonymous, we are fortunate to live in this time. I hate to use the cliche, but we are in this perfect storm where our lives as we know it can change for the best. It's up to us. Thanks for commenting!
