General Motors working to commercialize electric fuel cells

General Motors (NYSE: GM), believe it or not, is working toward alternative propulsion systems as energy prices continue to be seen at new highs (while still showing wild volatility), and the electric Volt is just one of its efforts. What will power the electric vehicles of the future? That's a billion-dollar question, since batteries are probably the largest barrier to really commercializing the fully electric vehicle -- from any manufacturer.

GM, according to sources this week, wants its fuel cell technology -- a leading contender for high-energy batteries -- to be commercialized as soon as possible. If fuel cells could be refined even further than where they are today, the economic and practical viability of totally electric cars could be seen soon. So far, talk like that has been full of hot air. But then again, automakers see pent-up demand for this technology as gas prices go absolutely nuts. Oil stands right at $100 a barrel right now. You make the call.

If GM does not get there first, you can bet the competition will -- and will feed the insatiable consumer demand that lies waiting in the proverbial wings. The good news here is that innovation and speed will happen as the race to be first in this "fuel cell" space becomes more heated. As history has shown, in the end, the winner will be the consumer, much to the chagrin of oil producers.

Reveo keeps the big guys on their toes

Reveo is a technology incubator which has proven that they are worth keeping an eye on. At least indirectly, Reveo competes with companies such as IBM (NYSE: IBM) and 3M (NYSE: MMM). To date Reveo holds over 300 patents in the fields of electrochemistry, optics, fuel cells, and advanced materials. This is the kind of company that invents and develops the technologies of which your future shall be built upon.

Reveo invites independent investment and has their portfolio available online. Their mission is to spin off companies based on technologies which Reveo has created and made viable. The growing list of Reveo subsidiaries includes cutting edge technology companies such as: VRex Inc., Chelix Technologies Corp., eVionyx Inc., Xellerion Inc., and PetaComm Inc. These are all companies which are busy punching wide openings into the future.

In addressing the need to provide a solid and focused business platform from which to accomplish their goals, Reveo created the Edison Technology Portfolio (ETP) Strategy. This strategy provides the frame work needed to launch Reveo's subsidiary companies with the ability to immediately exploit marketable technologies with a minimum of administrative tangle. In other words, Reveo spin off companies are able to hit the ground running.

If being up to date with leading edge technologies and the opportunities presented therein is of interest to you, then you owe it to yourself to check this company out. With a successful stable of spin off companies already in hand, it stands to reason that Reveo isn't going to disappear any time soon. I see a wealth of opportunities here... do you?
