A123 made incredible batteries. Huge abity to source & sink power. Fantastic cycle count, just soo much better. Such a high water mark for batteries.

I didn't realize they had gotten government money & then after going bankrupt had become a bit of a pariah (for "wasting money") in some circles.

This article is so clutch. Everyone wants every investment to pay off right away or rah rah rah government bad. We direly need to be funding industry & innovation; we are losing competitive spirit & our whole economy is ossifying, becoming an economy only of the large. We need to re make spirited engagement from the small & new possible.
