    It would be cool to see huge investments into battery storage.

    Globally humanity already invests over 10 Billion dollars per year in advancing battery technology.

    If we could create a battery that doesn’t just leak energy from storing…

    In order to build what you are talking about will almost certainly require real room temperature super conductors. We can get close, maybe, with the next generation of Aluminum-Air or Iron-Air batteries but this is big pimping. It’s incredibly complicated and difficult.

    It’s like Fusion Power. We can see a future where we have it figured out and working but it’s still some years, if not decades, away.
