Just a note that this is from 2008. At least in the short term, he was right. Not much has happened in battery technology available to the public in the last 5 years.
- Xcelerate 14y agoI saw that it's from 2008. I'm not denying it's a hard problem, but to claim that improvement has stalled is short-sighted.
- 001sky 14y agoWithout any evidence -- even theoretical -- you are just posturing. The fundamentals of the post are not "short sighted", they describe a deep fundamental flaw that is (has been) historically perisistent. There is a difference between being "short sighted" and a lack of transparency. Until the "magic" ships.

- hosh 14y agoI'm not sure this is posturing. Or at least, it is certainly not "just" posturing. I'm not in research like this, so I just hear things fed off of Y(HN). I've heard of some interesting devices like the carbon nanotube based supercapacitors (was that what it was?). Who knows?
