A company venture funded by the US Army should have the decency to allow the public in on buying some part of it’s stock. But it appears to be private.

I hear “big oil” bought up the patent on a uranium ion battery, apparently it has a half life of 4.5 billion years!

Meh. 40% gain just isn’t that much...battery technology is still very heavy and has very low energy density.
I’m waiting on the ultra-capacitors (which would also make hybrid systems on cars a reasonable addition instead of a giant compromise).
Or those nifty little fuel cells you inject butane/propane into and then run a laptop for a week or a PDA/phone for a month...
