    "The League of Beleaguered Gentlemen may actually get their wish. In the President’s 2007 State of the Union address he said, “We need to press on with battery research for plug-in and hybrid vehicles…†Not exactly a promise of billions, brains or tax-breaks, but it’s nice to get a nod. China, Korea and Japan have national lithium ion battery development programs, putting them each a half a lap ahead. But, the US has lithium reserves in Nevada, so it’s not out of the race. And the lithium race is not the only game in town."

    Do you really believe these politicans? Regardless of Demo/Rep?

    Clinton paid the big3 for advance car research, we ended up with the H2.

    Bush Jr said to invest in Ethanol, Congress put an 100% tax tariff on foreign Ethanol.

    Now Bush Jr said to invest in Battery Tech, lets see what stupid stunt he pulls now.

    As long as lobbying is allowed, we will never see it happened... until some companies step up and screw the politicans and oil company bullies.
