"In the early 1970s, the first lithium-based battery that worked at
room temperature had the potential to upend the entire energy
business. [But] That didn't happen. Soon came a recession, an oil
glut, and the election of Ronald Reagan, which ended a great deal of
government funding for research into advanced energy projects."

"Better Batteries Will Save the World"

=========================

Nice article but somewhat unbalanced. The culprit is not the economy or the
price of crude. The villain has been, until recently, an unholy cabal of
refiners and General Motors. These are the guys that destroyed electric
powered transportation on the west coast and were found guility of
conspiracy only to have the Nixon Administration merely give them a slap on
the wrist as punishment.

The real issue is that there has been too much money sabotaging battery
research. It was not always like that. Brookyn had battery powered
streetcars as early as 1910 and then a combination of Rockefeller and GM
interests put battery research to sleep.

Don't get me wrong. ICEs (internal combustion engines) have a great
advantage in that a cubic foot of gasoline contains more potential engery
than a cubic foot of batteries, but that is an issue of nature vs.
technology.

But things are turning around because it has been estimated that half of the
world's petroleum has already been used. Since lithium appears to be a
critical element in the future battery development, you should consider a
speculative (to be sure) lithium investment for your portfolio. I own stock
in a lithium mine in Australia that is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange
It's Talison Lithium (Yahoo Finance symbol TLH.TO). Talison is a profitable,
ongoing business with an active customer book. Take a look at it.
