For those that think the US govt. will allow the energy density of Li-Ion batteries to get much higher than it is now.....

YOU are high.
The Li-Ion battery of a laptop already carries the equivalent energy of a hand grenade, do you think that the govt. will allow it to get much better than that?

Training at work for Li-Ion battery handling.

They made us watch this:

That was ONE to THREE AA sized cells that caused that.
There was only superficial damage to the surrounding cells.
