[ExI] Trump Is Obsessed With Oil, but Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

[Adrian Tymes]

Have they been able to assemble the funding for a demonstrator?

How do they compare to space based solar power?  They might not
require launches to orbit, but are they thinking beamed power or
wired, to get power down from altitude?  Wired would seem to run afoul
of more regulations and safety issues than beamed.

Do you have connections to any of their staff, so you can get their
answers rather than third party speculation?
