something says,China and Taiwan as well as South Korea are going to make some major Tech moves in the coming days. China has been making PV panels below cost for quite some time,thus keeping newer products off the market.

Cap's and batteries do the same thing. They store and release a electrical charge. The problem is batteries take a long time to charge and cap's don't. Instead of charging a car over nite in the future you could just pull into a charging station and in a very short time get a recharge and be on your way.. Like going to a gas station... I can't wait..
