In my thesis on Hybrid- electric vehicles back in 1987-88, I singled out flywheel technology as the most promising area of energy storage for electric vehicles. Have yet to see that play out- but I'm usually right in the long run. <g>

I said the viability of flywheels would really depend on battery advances- and from what I seen, batteries are not that much better now than they were 14 yrs. ago. Flywheels have seen almost ZERO research, and thus have not gotten much better either. If the same efforts had been put into flywheels over the last 20 yrs. as has been spent on batteries, they would be using them extensively now, IMHO.
