36. This in my view shows the extreme need for better fuel cell and water breaking technology.

This is why this crap can't appear out of thin air. It needs to be able to deliver a great deal of power for upwards of a week to be considered stable.

It is just not time yet. The realist understands that we must support technology to reduce the manufacturing cost to the environment while massively gaining energy per dollar investment AND be able to store it later. I think I need to go find those topics talking about stuff such as Nanowire research for energy from the sun.

A good way to understand this is reading about submarines during WW2. The battery was EVERYTHING to a submarine captain. Battery technology was rapidly improved to allow for faster charging and longer stays under the waves. For when you were being depth charged... You needed your battery to pull you through till you could surface and run the main engines to charge.
