There are no dumb questions only dumb bashers that answer your questions:

Here's a table of energy densities you can see that Zinc Air rates very high:

Battery System
Anode
Cathode
Nominal Voltage, V
Energy Density Wh/kg
Energy Density Wh/L


Leclanche
Zn
MnO2
1.5
85
165

Alkaline-MnO2
Zn
MnO2
1.5
125
330

Zinc-air
Zn
O2 (Air)
1.5
340
1050

Li/SO2
Li
SO2
3.0
260
415

Li/SOCl2

SOCl2
3.6
320
700

Li/MnO2

MnO2
3.0
230
550

It should be noted that as long as the relative humidity is around between 20 and 60% the opened battery will retain between 58 and 82% of its rated capacity after 30 days of exposure to the air. I believe that a simple piece of sealing tape that can re-used multiple times can extend the life of the opened battery by several times that if the opened battery is going to be idle for some time. EFCX may include such sealing tape in an elegant (design wise) way in the future.

I believe foreign companies are under the same reporting requirements for listing on the major exchanges as are domestic companies.
