Excerpt:
Electricity, on the other hand, is "the only proven solution. Just like with solar, we're in the mode where we need to reduce the cost to make it practical."
That means better, high-tech batteries and volume production. And while the United States is behind in battery development, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group will work with one of two U.S. companies - A123Systems of Massachusetts or Valence Technology of Texas and their local affiliates - to get the hybrid conversions done. The companies eventually plan to try to sell these batteries to automakers.
