Johnson Controls To Supply Lithium-Ion Batteries

For those of you who have forgotten who Johnson Controls is, let me refresh your memory. Johnson Conttrols is the company that had an energy efficiency contract with the City of New Orleans under former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial's administration. Stan "Pampy" Barre, a confidant of the mayor, looted the Johnson Controls contract for his own personal greed.

Now Johnson Controls is in the headlines again:

The company will be supplying the People's Republic of China with lithium-ion batteries for its demonstration fleet of new energy vehicles. This fleet will help China usher in a new age of fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.

This should turn out to be a huge success since they won't be dealing with a corrupt individual like Stan "Pampy" Barre.
