GREAT article Don, thanks! There was only one bad point in the article that you posted... 'No ticker symbol reported.' Why?

Great article Don. Now, if only half of our "potential" is picked up by the financial world-------------- I would have loved to see some reference made to the S/L/I battery market and how our NiMH battery technology addresses the need for the new 42V electrical systems world-wide, to the tune of 56 million vehicles yearly. But, I guess there are valid reasons for this ommission. Stan made some pretty strong predictions. We all have something exciting to look forward to. On another note, Mitsubishi and Nissan have joined the rush to market hybrid cars, according to the April 12th issue of Automotive News. Mitsubishi states the year 2000, while Nissan states early 2000. Would you believe Nissan will test about 20 prototype cars, all using lithium ion batteries. And, Nissan is virtually on the brink of bankruptcy! This is nothing more than negotiating hogwash! Anyone who can't see through that smokescreen is legally blind. It also states that Toyota and Honda plans to market a hybrid car later this year. From what I hear posted, Honda will be using ECD's advanced NiMH batteries, etc., that offer superior performance. I also understand and have read that GM's hybrid is supposed to go from zero to sixty in seven seconds, due to the newest battery technology, etc.. The Toyota Prius will go from zero to sixty in fourteen seconds. It gives one the urge to get out and push to help things along. Doe's anyone honestly believe that Toyota would come into the US marketplace with such an inferior battery technology? And, in particular, now that we have three licensee's in Japan, with Sanoh, Sanyo and Japan storage battery co.? What do you think? Regards.
