But that’s not what happened. Instead of the batteries becoming the next great American success story, the warehouse is now shuttered and empty. All the employees who worked there were laid off. And more than 5,200 miles away, a Chinese company is hard at work making the batteries in Dalian, China.

Department of Energy officials declined NPR’s request for an interview to explain how the technology that cost U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars ended up in China.

SO A BATTERY THAT SITS OUTSIDE (beside A/C perhaps) and can power a household for DECADES was developed and paid for by US government and then GIVEN AWAY to China!!!!    Is there a money trail?
