Matt's right, we do live in a world of increasingly scarce materials, but all things being equal, oil can only be used once, while batteries can be recycled.

I haven't heard if A123 got the bailout money or not yet.

While I don't like how Americans have to foot the bill for all the money the government shells out, at least this one is actually for improving transportation!
