I mention it because the author of this article tried to point out how he was a skeptic in 2012. But the same publication was not exercising skepticism in 2011

  After reading your comment, I went back to read the authors 2012 article and even that doesn't demonstrate that much scepticism. The title and sub heading reads as follows: "A Big Jump in Battery Capacity If Envia can overcome some key problems, its technology could cut the cost of electric-car batteries in half." Which, to me, is just as hyped up as the other articles he's criticizing. In fact the most sceptical parts of that article were just him saying "it's not ready yet", which isn't so much scepticism but more anticipation. I'm a little disappointed with the author for this. I don't like the way how the press always have to sensationalise everything, but I accept that it happens. However to post the kind of snide remark as he did regarding others hyping technology, yet to do the exact same thing yourself in the very article you're citing as evidence of your own scepticism, well it's just pathetic in my opinion.
