Brighter, New Energy-Saving Flat Panel Lights Based on Carbon Nanotubes
http://www.aip.org/publishing/journal-highlights/beyond-leds-flat-panel-lights-using-carbon-nanotubes
"Scientists from Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new type of energy-efficient flat light source based on carbon nanotubes with very low power consumption of around 0.1 Watt for every hour's operation -- about a hundred times lower than that of an LED."

Electric 1000+ hp motor goes 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds
http://wrightspeed.com/products/the-circuit/
Of course, my Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle goes 0-60 in about 2.6 seconds and does the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds (and can be found brand new for as little as $11,000), but it also can't carry more than two passengers....

"Electric-car battery prices already have fallen by 50 percent since 2010 to about $500 per kilowatt hour, and “by drawing on auto-battery technology, battery makers may also be able to supply storage batteries at a lower price,” Citigroup said in a Sept. 25 report. Tesla Chairman Elon Musk said in July that battery packs for electric cars will drop to $100 in the next 10 years."
