Watched this video today. Some Scientists have discovered that graphene acts like a super capacitor.

In laymans terms, graphene can recharge electrical equipment in a fraction of the time a battery could. Imagine if you could plug your dead phone into a graphene capacitor, it could fully charge it in less than ten seconds. This could also be huge in terms of clean technologies for the future, where you could charge an electric car to full power in less than a minute.

It well be awesome when we have electric cars as long as they save us money. I could give a damn about the environment, very cool though. Great post.

If only corporations were in favor of the people
And not the wallets this could in fact be great technology...why do you think electric cars and just about any other form of renewable energy fails?
