People are paying attention to Shai Agassi's Better Place

Another article about A Better Place, the electric car/battery infrastructure that Shai Agassi is heading up, with pilots in Israel, Denmark, and probably San Francisco as well as other places.

I've been very interested this since I heard Shai Agassi was leaving SAP two years ago. I really like this idea. My only question is - what is being done with old batteries? I can imagine huge toxic waste dumps of old batteries - not a pretty picture.
