Very accurate assessment, but although battery technology has proved to be a hard nut to crack I think it might happen within the next few years.
There are sectors of the economy that dearly need electrical storage and are willing to pay for it, primarily electric vehicles and renewable energy. Over the last few years it has become obvious that this is a huge market, and that there are enormous amounts of money involved for whoever improves the technology. This, hopefully, means that it will be the focus of research, grants, startups, and business.
- sbierwagen 14y agoThere are sectors of the economy that dearly need electrical storage and are willing to pay for it, primarily electric vehicles and renewable energy. This has been true for 200 years. Electrical vehicles were commercially available in the 1850s, but eventually lost out to gasoline vehicles because of... power storage. If you have actual evidence to support your argument, provide it, but "we need one" certainly isn't it. We've always needed better batteries.
