I concur with M. Simon. Batteries are great but the tech is so rapidly evolving smaller research grants to more companies and universities would be much more effective. From what I've been reading about new battery technologies of late, I suspect that Imara's tech will be out-of-date by the time they get to market with car batteries - although they may still do well with AA's. What should be getting big grants are the energy production technologies that require more upfront funding for R & D. Polywell fusion is a great example of a technology that could radically change all our lives - much more than new batteries ever will.
Polywell gets a favorable mention
