C'mon Man, remember America put a men on the moon and returned them safely to earth.

EVANSTON, Ill. --- Imagine a cellphone battery that stayed charged for more than a week and recharged in just 15 minutes. That dream battery could be closer to reality thanks to Northwestern University research.

A team of engineers has created an electrode for lithium-ion batteries -- rechargeable batteries such as those found in cellphones and iPods -- that allows the batteries to hold a charge up to 10 times greater than current technology. Batteries with the new electrode also can charge 10 times faster than current batteries.

I'm starting to get more excited over the Tesla-S after looking more in-depth. Even with today's technology it can get 230 miles per charge. And of course, new technology seems to outdo itself every time you blink, getting better and better and cheaper and cheaper.

Okay, we'll see how this all turns out.

To be honest my biggest fear is for deep pocket interests with a lot to lose buy out the patent rights, stick it in a safe somewhere and declare "we need to drill baby here because this new battery technology just isn't realistic and we need to wait for it to catch up" as was done with the NiMH.
