[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 81711, member: 172"] Re: Batteries May Become Obsolete One of the big issues with most of the "renewable" energy sources (wind, solar, run-of-the-river hydro) is that the generation is intermittant and difficult to predict. This typically means that these types of generation need to be backed with either storage or dispatchable generation. If these supercaps can scale up inexpensively, that could increase the ability to use renewables. If not, well, still plenty of uses on a smaller scale. Oh, and creating your own electricity from fossil fuels isn't particuarly difficult; many of us in this industry do it on a daily basis. [/QUOTE]
