Summary:
"A worldwide race is on to perfect the next engine of economic growth, the advanced lithium-ion
battery
. It will power the electric car, relieve global warming, and catapult the winner into a new era of economic and political mastery. Can the United States win? Steve LeVine was granted unprecedented access to a secret federal laboratory outside Chicago, where a group of geniuses is trying to solve this next monumental task of physics. But these scientists--almost all foreign born--are not alone. With so much at stake, researchers in Japan, South Korea, and China are in the same pursuit. The drama intensifies when a Silicon Valley start-up licenses the federal laboratory's signature
invention
with the aim of a blockbuster sale to the
world
's biggest carmakers. The
Powerhouse
is a real-time, two-year thrilling account of big
invention
, big commercialization, and big deception. It exposes the layers of competition and ambition, aspiration and disappointment behind this great turning point in the history of technology."--From publisher.
