Better Batteries Threaten Fossil Fuel

In the battle between fossil fuels and renewable energies, fossil fuels have been winning because of their convenience. Fuel in the tank works regardless of almost any weather or time of day. Solar only works in the daytime. Wind only works with the weather allows. Making better batteries stores solar and wind energy, in the form of potential electro-chemical processes, so energy is available when it is dark and calm. Like with many technologies, the early applications cost too much, but the price is coming down rapidly. The same is true for solar and wind, which means fossil fuels are being doubly challenged.
