The Government Challeges Firms To Make Better Batteries

This piece from the article of www.usatoday.com talks about how the government is convincing the firms to build smaller, longer-lived batteries and what they talk about is how the batteries are going to help not only the government but also the people in general. The government wants to invests tens of millions of dollars to invest the companies into making them. I don't know if that is a smart idea because, we do have batteries that can last longer and that's Duracel and other battery types, furthermore, if the battery deal falls through that is a lot of money wasted.

We spend a lot of money on getting batteries everyday and not only we do that but we also use batteries to help us with electronic devices and for our other needs and purposes. Batteries are important for us to use and I think that the government just wants us to have better batteries to use in the future. Today's intelligence and military missions do rely more and more on high-tech gadgetry: such as remote communications and surveillance systems, and the government have been investing not only in batteries, but also in portable, long-duration power sources.

I'm not saying that the government does not need to do any wrongful spending in investing in batteries is just that they do need to think about the whole thing first and see if it is worth it. For the most part it is a smart idea because we could be inventing something that can be worthwhile and could benefit for us in the future.
