We’re not going to install massive high temperature storage in people’s backyards. That sort of activity goes on in areas zoned for industrial use.

Aquion has a very good product for small grid storage.

Eos is not fuel cell. Read again.

The government constantly chooses winners and loosers. Every research application funded. Every purchase contract signed.

You certainly don’t expect the free market to do the heavy lifting of funding emerging technology do you? That’s a route to national failure.

Ambri = NGK = High temp risk = Not in my backyard
Aquion = seriously? Low voltage and energy density = poor solution
EOS = Fuel Cell = Bifunctional electrodes don’t last and have poor efficiency
I think you meant Envia? See my previous post on Japan, Korea and China.
IBM = see previous post on electrodes

My first post made a point, we need transparency and limitations on the funding process. Government’s role should be a bridge between innovators and industry by providing high risk funding, not building factory’s and financing. Your list would have included hundreds of great startups!

These are all very promising battery companies/technologies. Look them up. A couple should be manufacturing in the next few months, factories are being finalized.

I’ll answer your first question – Is this money translating into advances?

Yes.
