Battery Storage Technology Advances. All we lack is Your will.
Lithium air battery gives IBM hope of power without fires.
International Business Machines Corp. plans to
release a prototype next year of an alternative battery technology it
calls “lithium air” that would mark a big step forward by packing in
more storage capacity.

All that's lacking is Your Body in the Way: Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Battery Designed, Should Hit Market Within 2-3 Years
Posted: 19 Feb 2013 03:00 AM PST
Next-generation lithium-ion
batteries that hold more than 3 times the charge that current batteries
do and can recharge in around 10 minutes are now within reach. The new
design, created by researchers at the University of Southern California
(USC), may be commercially available within only 2-3 years according to
those involved.

The future of energy: Batteries included? Produce the right battery at the right price, many engineers think, and you could make the internal-combustion engine redundant and usher in a world in which free fuel, in the form of wind and solar energy, was the norm. That really would be a revolution. Economist

A Manmade Island to Store Wind Energy. MIT Technology Review
| MIT Technology Review | - |
When the wind
farm produces excess energy for the local electricity grid, such as
off-peak times in the overnight hours, the island will store the energy
and release it later during peak times.
