Lockheed Martin even admits (in so many words) that Eestor doesn’t yet have a product. They’re basically looking to collaborate on promising technology.

Trust me, promising technology won’t power the Volt in 2010.

I wish the interviewer had asked Denise about her opinions on EEStor.

Assuming the Lockheed Martin interview is to be believed, I think GM should be contacting EEStor ASAP.

Dave G #3:

I have to tell you as a very old Nash/Chrysler person that I had a 2005 Malibu to go with our 2004 Prius. Unfortunately my grandson totaled it at 13 kmiles, but that car far exceeded the Prius in all respects but the fuel consumption. My wife and I have had nearly 40 new cars (three prius) in our 55 years of marriage and I was amazed at the Malibu. It was a joy to drive. The 2008 is singing a siren song since I may not live long enough to get the Volt of my desires and it is getting rave reviews. However you can orget the pseudo-hybrid version.

Solar Cells with 60% Efficiency

Nuclear Engineer Lonnie Johnson, best known for his invention of the super soaker squirt gun, has recently designed a new type of solar energy technology that he says can achieve a conversion efficiency rate of more than 60 percent. Considering that the best solar energy systems today have an efficiency of 30-40 percent, Johnson´s method could cut the cost of solar energy nearly in half.

As for the interview, the effort is progressing. That’s what truly counts.

It’s a massive undertaking, so naturally there will be some hurdles bigger than others. I don’t look too deep into it as long as the momentum continues.

That’s called “selective sampling”. It’s not constructive and quite misleading.

Provide us with a LIFETIME MPG value instead, the true representation of what to expect based on a large quantity of real-world data.

For example, my data… 90,280 miles divided by 1867.251 gallons is 48.3 MPG.
