The big bugaboo in the energy equation is storing it. Our power plants can generate electricity 24x7, but we have no good way to store it. What we need is some device or material that can store massive amounts of energy safely, yet weighs little, can be recharged both quickly and many times over, is easy and cheap to manufacture and is safe for the environment. Today, the Holy Grail of energy is the cheap, light weight, and safe battery that can be used to power anything from cell phones to cars. Whomever comes up with the ultimate battery will be rich beyond all dreams of avarice.
