Excellent article in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists discussing the potential of batteries to replace oil for motor vehicles. thebulletin.org The author concludes this way: "The bottom line is that nature has given us hydrocarbons in the form of fossil carbon and biomass, and their energy-mass and energy-volume densities are superior to the thermodynamic limits of nearly all conceivable alternatives. Thus, it's quite likely that hydrocarbons of one form or another will be humanity's primary energy storage medium for quite a long time." I would only amend his statement by saying that hydrocarbons will be humanity's primary energy storage medium for as long as they last.
