Well, he's got the chops, he did invent Li-ion batts after all.

Li-glass with 3x the charge would give your Tesla 600 mi range with similar, perhaps shorter, charge time.  

Goodenough!

I saw essentially the same article in NPR. The replicability being the key. How cool would it be to have the solar roof tiles, these batteries powering your house and getting recharged by the tiles, a solar car and have no oil, natural gas or petrochemicals doing it. I am really hoping this is what it purports to be.

A lot of very wealthy people will think it's not so cool at all, since it will evaporate a lot of that wealth.

Gas tax gone. Power plants gone. Oil relegated to where it should be and that's in the ground. All coal jobs gone.

Yep, this will find some serious resistance to be followed with a whole lot of smart governing and the second part is something we are most definitely not ready for....
