I can't say much about the Republicans, there are still too many for me to really break this down effectively, but I have put the Democrat candidates' policies on a number of issues (technology included) on my blog. Obama clearly breaks away for general policies, although there are some areas that all (well, now both) of them could be more clear (or give any policies).

Submission + - Nanotech battery claims to solve electric car woes

rbgrn writes: A123 Systems claims to have invented a Lithium Ion battery that not only can discharge at very high rates of current but can be recharged very quickly without damage to the cells or overheating. From their website: "A unique feature of A123Systems' M1 cells is their ability to charge to high capacity in 5 minutes or less. That's a significant improvement over traditional Li Ion, which typically requires more than 90 minutes to reach a similar level of charge." Using this technology, General Motors has announced a plug-in hybrid SUV and Venture Vehicles is developing a fully electric 3 wheel vehicle. Politics aside, the main technological hurdle to mass adoption of electric cars has been a fuel station replacement when driving distances beyond a single charge worth of range. Will we finally be seeing high current recharge stations in the next decade?
