saw this guy humorously interviewed by Stephen Colbert. Sounds like he might be onto something revolutionary. Hope so:

Very cool, thanks.

Donald Sadoway did have somewhat of a 'visionary vibe' during the segment. Especially when sharing his vision of the battery powered future( while not responding to Colbert's interest in battery edibility )

Cool video, thanks.

Very intersting that he focused on lower cost while disregarding size and weight. Smart for stationary applications. Mobile application batteries like for cars have much different requirements. Smart distintion on his part.
