		<description>They can be recycled by specific companies, not your standard recycling center.</description>

		<description>If they were recyclable that would negate their argument that hybrid cars are worse for the environment than hummers.   Can&#039;t have facts standing in the way of their beliefs.</description>

		<description>The batteries can be recycled. You all know if there is a buck to be made. An American  businessman. Is not going to miss out on it.</description>

		<description>Perhaps some of the current batteries are NiMH. A wiki article says that Standard Oil  (the &quot;energy company&quot; in their tv ads) is blocking production of NiMH.
, search for NiMH.

Otherwise, I&#039;m with you in believing that batteries, certainly LA, are recyclable.  I don&#039;t know much about recycling Lithium batteries but, given their cost, you can count on someone making sure they can recycle.</description>

		<description>I heard that they get sent to places like Tailand where they are taken apart by hand.</description>

		<description>It may be just a matter of semantics.  &quot;Can&#039;t be recycled&quot; may just mean &quot;can&#039;t be recycled using the current processes.&quot;  

Lead acid batteries have been around for a long time.  We have had time to figure out how to extract everything from the batteries and have found the means to make the process economically feasible.  

These new batteries won&#039;t simply go into the existing infrastructure.  The same people will probably process them but it may take a different machine, a different chemistry or process.  Even if they are not initially recycled they will be stored until a recycling market and infrastructure is made to mine this gold.</description>
