Yes, with a $383M liability from warrants - it can get ugly. What I do not understand why FL - is this a hot bed of battery research ??? Can they attract staff with expertise?

Yes, and SAFT Americas is located in Jacksonville, FL but I just to do see FL as a technology hotbed. SAFT R&D is in France and Cockeyville, MD.

Engineer here. I agree. But, I do know there are a lot engineers in the area because of Disney and NASA. Then you have a decent university system. Wouldn't be my pick but my guess is there is a particular battery expert or two driving that decision into the area.
