Yeah, this is back in the news again. We have endless battery news, and where are we? Batteries need ions to move, and anodes to swell, so they will always be slow. SC's just have electrons and can be charged in an instant. However, both are improving at the pace of a snail up a tree.
When this whole carbon warming thing goes the way of phrenology, then we will go with methanol fuel cells and sc's as boosters, like a hybrid car. This will make everybody happy. We know that batteries will destroy our grid system, and we have the total energy of our pipeline system. Don't invest in solar cells, or giant battery plants.
SC's and methanol can use our existing systems. The only thing stopping it is the whole carbon thing. Maybe three years of extreme cold before we storm the ramparts of the influencers. Maybe not.
