I would welcome your thoughts on energy storage - and its role in creating an energy-rich economy. We're seeing steady improvements in batteries, but also a clear ceiling on performance given the bad chemistry of batteries. Next generation storage systems via fuel cells and capacitors are on solid paths of development. It seems that energy storage is the key missing ingredient. It holds the most potential for disruptive business models - e.g. - Asia leapfrogs into building Electric drive cars via lower threshold of modular manufacturing - Electricity grids revenue models challenged by energy storage... (cannot help avoiding a regulatory battle with utilities) - Reaching untapped markets by selling high density energy packets (e.g. solid H2) via retail shelf sales rather than transmission lines. I see new forms of energy storage, not production as the real game changer-- and would enjoy some of your insights.

We’re seeing steady improvements in batteries, but also a clear ceiling on performance given the bad chemistry of batteries. Next generation storage systems via fuel cells and capacitors are on solid paths of development.

It seems that energy storage is the key missing ingredient. It holds the most potential for disruptive business models -
e.g.
- Asia leapfrogs into building Electric drive cars via lower threshold of modular manufacturing
- Electricity grids revenue models challenged by energy storage… (cannot help avoiding a regulatory battle with utilities)

- Reaching untapped markets by selling high density energy packets (e.g. solid H2) via retail shelf sales rather than transmission lines.

I see new forms of energy storage, not production as the real game changer– and would enjoy some of your insights.
