    Fossil fuels are currently the largest disconnected power storage by overall power used.

    Fossil fuels do not store “power” at all.

    incremental changes can accumulate to the point where at some point revolutionary changes can occur. We increased capacity and longevity by a factor of 10 over 30 years

    If it takes place over the course of 30 years, it is not “revolutionary”.

    Yet you seem skeptical that’s possible, in spite of the decades of advances we already have made.

    I am skeptical because of the decades of advances that have been promised time and time again but have not been made…

    I am not remotely skeptical of iterative advancements.

      Now, if you’re quibbling about the term power vs. energy, I can’t really be bothered with it. If you aren’t, what exactly do you think is the reason we use gasoline in vehicles than because it’s a highly portable source of energy?

        Yeah, I’m getting that impression about you.
