Bill, There is something from your math I would like you to clarify for me. If a car would need 2000 ounces of silver and if I assume silver price of $7 per ounce, this would be $14,000 for cost of silver alone in one car. Am I missing something?

Bill, thanks for the analysis on silver use for autos, would you do it for laptops or cell phones please? I checked out my laptop battery it weighed 12 avdp. ounces, my cell phone battery was 3 avdp. ounces, I used 40% based on my conversation with the man that put out the CPR notice Friday so my guesstemates are 1 troy ounce per cell phone and 3 troy ounces per lap top, what I cannot locate is the quantity of cell phones or laptops and their respective growth rates. Realize this question is mute relative to your post on autos, however my point is that silver fuel cells will probably find wide use in these two items before the use in autos. Any help is appreciated. BTW when I spoke to CPR about their silver report due on 6 April I asked if this type of statistical study was included and the answer I received was a vague no.
