Dear Rational Optimist,
In 2012, America handed the future of energy to Beijing. A123, a $400 million battery company, filed for bankruptcy and was sold to China for parts.
Today China makes 80% of the world’s batteries. Most people have accepted the story ended there. Ouros founder and CEO Ethan Loosbrock is actually fighting back.
I recently caught up with Ethan to discuss why America still has a shot at winning the battery war… and the tech he’s building to make it happen.
In our interview you’ll hear:
Why lasers will replace bullets
How to break America’s battery addiction
Why sodium ion batteries will fail
America’s best shot at beating China
The walled garden making Ouros rich
