This guy is my new hero!

[TheSolarmike]

I love them so much

[TrainmasterCurt]

These are the good Jewish people who actually care about the environment and the people, not like the Zionists and GM who are greedy buggers

How can I get funding on building this high efficient engine?

[Whaaat2008]

It's a classic example of being told that they were going to do great things with the technology (use them in the EV1) and then they shelve them! I LOVE Stan and Iris Ovshinsky! It's GM and Chevron that need to get off their "assets" and do something with it!

[Nichen]

This couple should be the couple of the millenium

[alienmoonbase]

Bull shit.  This guy patented something that others were working on.

A patent should have never been given on this.

Its also an obvious antitrust violation for chevron to own competing technology.

This is a disgrace.

as a United Solar Ovonic (ECD subsidary - the factory in this vid is my "home") employee i agree... i get to see the results of their vision 1st hand everyday i work.... it's nice to work in a nice clean factory labratory environment and know that my work doesn't end up in the landfill in 3 years when some fat ass rich guy gets bored of it and wants the next new thing that the TV told him he needs

GM sold its controlling share of Ovshinksky's battery company (Cobasys) to Chevron. Stan and Iris did not control those shares. Chevron then stalled any new R&D of nickel hydrid battery technology -- making them difficult to get (or even use, if you follow its lawsuit with Matshushita over Toyota's Prius batteries).

However, one could critique Stan for hyping the hydrogen economy (which has been used by car and oil industry to keep exisiting battery electric technology off the road).

[TheBishopSSR]

Too bad they sold out to Chevron after all this happy talk

[Nichen]

But were the couple responsible? No. GM sold out to Chevron because GM owned the batterytechnology for the EV1, not the Ovshinsky´s.
