Eminent Domain has been egregiously misused in the last few decades, having been used to take private property for "the public good," but actually for the sake of enriching huge corporations. I'm not so sure I want to encourage any more of that, even for such a good cause. Besides, haven't most of the NiMH patents expired now? Or am I remembering that incorrectly? Regardless, NiMH is an outstanding battery technology with many positives. However, the fashion has already turned to lithium ion, and I expect that it would be tough to reverse that trend.
