huh, you need to get up to speed. it also sounds like you could care less about america and are more interested in seeing chinese company take over a123 for the sake of your investment even though its not even close to the best thing for them. the big deal is the patents, especially since the labor came from US universities and they were bought and paid for by washington. seems some forget why they are even still in business and able to build a plant in the US in the first place, taxpayer money. seems some think just like big business unless its your job at stake.
