'Impossible' Battery Made Possible?

With the increasing desire for fuel efficient cars, companies have spent millions on trying to make a battery that keeps its charge longer than electric cars do now, which is about 60km after a night of charging.
But heres the good news. A company by the name of EEStor has claimed to have made a battery that could get you up to 500km on just 5 minutes of charging.
Using a 'secret ingrediant' which is sandwhiched between thousands of sheeets of metal, stored energy is quickly absorbed and discharged, which is ecactly what an electric car needs in terms of energy. You can see the full story here.

First Post

Welcome to my newest blog about the environment, going green, creatively saving the planet, changing the earth and whats going on in the world.
Basically in this blog I'll show you, the reader, new products and ideas that are shaping the way we live to better the planet. I'll also be producing articles written by myself about going green, opinions on recent activities, and basic life stories that involve creatively making out planet a better one. Oh and I'm trying to keep a creative angle on the stories, so you should expect to see more posts about new creative ideas rather than politics and junk like that.
I appreciate any comments on posts, or insights on new ideas. I'd also look forward to hearing of new links and stories that we should post here from the readers.
This blog isn't about showing exactly what you should do, its just one person's opinion about the world we live in, and how I think we can make it better.
