creepycrank Where's GE with their molten salt battery. After all they built a factory in NY state with other peoples money for use in their hybrid locomotive that nobody ordered. I think that NS charged the batteries from their Altoona plants coal fired steam plant.

Was the plant built with taxpayer's money?
"I Often Dream of Trains"-From the Album of the Same Name by Robyn Hitchcock
A 2008 Reuters story says that GE already spent $150, 000,000 on research and that the plant would cost $100,000,000 to build. Of this New York State would chip in $15,000,000 and that GE was applying for federal grant money but didn't say how much. GE's claim was that it be a billion dollar business so I don't know why any taxpayers money is needed or should be granted.
