As well they should, and Democrats as well…and they should start by firing every person in the DoE responsible for giving a quarter of a billion dollars to a company without hard requirements involving results and assurances that the IP remained in the US.

This is simply unconscionable bordering on criminal.

That effectively cuts the price of storage in half.

You know, the Republicans could step up and support our renewable energy industry and we’d be able to be more competitive. Some money dedicated to storage would have created more US demand.
