There hasbeen a lot of buzz about Li On batteries being the latest rage with Tesla and the Volt heading that way.

I've been trying to follow the Firefly Energy story which has remade the lead acid battery into a much more efficient and lighter unit. Has there been any movement for them to put their products in an EV?

Also, some time ago, I read about a professor in California who is developing nano technology that is supposed to increase capacity 10 fold over current technology. At the time he figured about 2-4 years to that being viable.

What have you heard or know about?

In June, we are doing a show all about battery technology.

I know that in doing some preliminary research, there have been several amazing claims and forecasts in this area. Funny thing is, these were made years ago and still today -- nothing.

We expect to have some good answers on this!
