    Fair enough, but if humanity had geared up for renewable electricity generation, there would have been more motivation to fund and perform research on battery tech.

      Why would they focus all their energy on solutions that only worked when the weather was nice, and thus electricity was needed the least? That doesn’t make sense. It’s a chicken and egg situation. They’re not going to make renewable energy they can’t store, and there not going to focus on mass storage when the solutions of the day didn’t require it.

      Regardless of how we got here, we’re here. So we need to accept it and figure out the best way forward. Pointing fingers at the past is completely pointless. What happened, happened.
