The question with Energy usually is: What did we give up to get what? For example, I think Sanyo says it's going to buy some stock in ECD. Which kind? Are they buying a portion of Ovonic? What's the price they're going to pay?

(b) the sanyo/ecd collaboration may provide parts for the iaccoca/stempel (ebike) projects. it's such a relief that japan motor inc. can now buy tech from non-competitors.
