Ian Clifford On Tour

Ian Clifford If you've been scratching your head about the recent movement of Zenn Motor's stock the past two trading days AND you live in Southern California, perhaps you could pay a visit to Ian Clifford who will be speaking at Fortune's Brainstorm Green 2009.

I recommend you take an ECO-LIMO to the event. Why? For a variety of reasons but mainly because you don't have the guts to travel there in a GIGANTIC dump truck.
















It's interesting to see a Zenn car pictured in an Edmunds.com blog post
about William Clay Ford II. I've often mentioned that I believe Ford will be the first large manufacturer to be able to utilize EEStor technology.

Confusion over Zenn Stock Activity




There's been a bit of an uptick in the trading of Zenn Motor's Stock fueling speculation that some sort of announcement may be about to pop. Then again, we've been there before.

An uptick in activity prior to a confusing announcement? Or a confusing uptick prior to a clear announcement?Or an announcement that there's no announcement? What's your bet? Oh, you want to play it each of the ways. Ok.

I'll join you this time.

Ian Clifford Again With The EEStor Is Ready Stuff :-)


Ian Clifford out there......AGAIN......warning everyone that EEStor is on the way. 


Did you understand that?  EESTOR IS COMING!  Yo!  I'm talking to you!!!! It ***IS*** coming!


You want proof, Mr Science Fancy Pants?   Ok, I'll give you proof.   The EESTOR blogger declares that Ian Clifford was wearing a POST-PERMITTIVITY shirt.       ?       That's right! A CEO could only sport that shirt POST-PERMITTIVITY.  Laugh it up.   A Pre-Permittivity CEO would NEVER  wear that particular nice shirt to gain serious consideration. Never.  Post-Permittivity.  [nodding as I say that]

AHEM:  Andrew Bell & Kim Parlee. There should be NO smirking while interviewing one of the world's next great technological leaders. Kim,  no no no no.

Lots of Lithium Ion Companies Lining up for Government Funding

Several EEStor competitors in the lithium ion world have worked tirelessly recently to position themselves to receive government loans/grants to speed the development of their production capabilities. 





<-- The EEStor Blogger's take.

EEStor Bunny Visits Lockheed


In it's April 2009 employee newsletter, Lockheed Martin has reiterated support for EEStor Inc.'s technology. They are reporting it as having an energy density that is 100X of lead acid.

"Looking ahead, the MFC Power

Management team plans to incorporate

new battery technologies into its products

as they become available. It has

partnered with EEStor, a small company

that has patented ultra-capacitor technology

that MFC believes could be a

game-changing technology in the power

management field. EEStor technology

could provide 10 times the energy density

of lead acid batteries at 1/10th the

weight and volume."

Good-bye Saudi Arabia! Hello, Bolivia!

If you're one of those companies planning to make a large bid for Department of Energy loans/grants to build out your lithium ion battery factory, perhaps in Michigan, you might want to submit your application with stamped approval from the government of Bolivia. They will be your new bosses for the next 500 years (according to them).... if EEStor's technology is not validated by Lockheed Martin Inc.

Michigan vs Boliva in a Battery Profit Investment Battle. Who will win? Dick Weir maybe?
