In a model recently proposed by Albrecht and Skordis it was suggested that the observed accelerated expansion of the universe could be caused by a scalar field which is trapped in a local minimum of an exponential potential modified by a polynomial prefactor. We show that scalar field cosmologies with this kind of local minimum in the potential are stable and do not decay to the true vacuum if they fulfill the observational constraints from the Type Ia Supernovae experiments. Further we briefly sketch how this potential could be related to a potential of interacting D-branes.
