Joint Center for Energy Storage Research

The Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) is a major public-private research partnership that integrates U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories, major research universities and leading industrial companies to overcome critical scientific challenges and technical barriers, leading to the creation of breakthrough energy storage technologies.

JCESR, centered at Argonne National Laboratory, outside of Chicago, consolidates decades of basic research experience that forms the foundation of innovative advanced battery technologies. The partnership has access to some of the world's leading battery researchers as well as scientific research facilities that are needed to develop energy storage materials that will revolutionize the way the United States and the world use energy.

Is the nano battery design work being done at MIT included in this process? Molecular design and repartition of atomic structures play just as much a part in the capacity to hold charge as basic chemistry, and yet, I don't see any of that research being incorporated into the JCESR mission statements I've read. What's the plan here? Throwing more money at the problem, or actually finding innovative solutions?

We need a new system.

Whatever they come up with will be doomed to fail.

All the materials in the battery will be commodified on wall street and speculation

will destroy its acceptance.

Capitalism SUCKS!!!!!
