A couple of points about Exxon-Mobil.
First, they are not just an OIL company. They are in many different business segments. My experience with them has been their chemical group that was making coatings for high grade paper.
Secondly, I don't think the new separator is really about improving safety.
Exxon Mobil's film, developed with Japanese affiliate TonenGeneral, was considered a breakthrough because it was the first to squeeze multiple layers of plastic into a single white sheet the width of a human hair.
The added layers enable the batteries to run at higher temperatures, producing more power, while still protecting them from overheating.
The new film maintains safety while getting more performance out of the battery.

And Ryan, close but no cigar.
The indian currency is the rupee not ruples
And Gav, your performance was excellent: excellent, excellent.
My favorite part is that you don't know if Massachusetts is a state or or a city. Well let me be the first to tell you ... oh ... well ..., nevermind, it doesn't really matter.
Haha! Cheers mate! I guess I'll have to google Mass-a-chew-sits and find out for sure!
Loved the show too guys, very informative and funny.
I too picked out Rupee as India's currency. I think Rubles is the Russian currency from memory.
Cheers,
Gav
I really enjoyed the article on Lithium supply by Karen Pease in Gas 2.0- this article seems to sum up very well a couple of other articles I have seen on this subject. The link to the article is: http://gas2.org/2008/10/13/lithium-counterpoint-no-shortage-for-electric-cars/#more-1103
The $2000 dollar EV from India? I'll believe it when I see it- even a few lead-acid batteries will set you back a $1000, much less the cost of Li-Ion. And it is Rupees- Rubles are indeed Russian Currency.
The Texas Teen in San Antonio with his gull-winged EV- way too cool! Alas! I too, Bo, wished I had the skill (and time, space and money) for such a project- but perpaps someday...
And Thanks Gav! Way too funny! And don't worry about knowing if Massachusetts is a state or city (I live in the city of Austin, which is a state of mind;-)- NONE of us could probably name any cities or states, or if there even are any states, in New Zealand. I'm just curious what y'all did with Old Zealand? (Yes, I know...but it is very late as I write this;-)
It may interest you to know that the author of that article on lithium, Karen Pease, is the daughter of Bob Pease, former president of Shell Trading http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/motiva-names-new-president-and-ceo,562856.shtml
If you liked her presentation on lithium and thought it cleared things up for you you should shoot her a message and ask her to explain the role of carbon dioxide in the global warming phenomena. I dare you.
Do you double dog dare me?
I just spent some time on the web trying to get some insight into Karen Pease's views about CO2. However, I came up empty.
I guess this falls into Bo's lap now to find out.
I triple red-dog dare you:-()
OK, I asked Karen Pease and here is what she says.

When it comes to global warming and its associated problems (ocean acidification, etc), I share the views of the IPCC.
IPCC = International Panel on Climate Change
