Sample Book Insights:
#1 Jeff Chamberlain, the head of the Argonne Lab, was extremely worried about Wan. He was a Chinese materials scientist and the head of the Department of Energy in Beijing, and he wanted to steal Chamberlain’s team’s breakthrough lithium-ion battery technology and bring it back to China.
#2 The Chinese were making huge advancements in electric car technology, and were planning on having a large-scale production of them by 2020.
#3 The global financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 had scared Americans, who were determined to create a new economy on a solid foundation rather than on financial, real estate, or dot-com bubbles. Europeans were also fearful of being left behind, and Asia’s export-driven economies wanted in on the action as well.
#4 China was dominating the market for lithium-ion batteries, but many countries were trying to catch up.
