Wishful thinking doesn't make technology happen out of nowhere.



No, it doesn't.

This is why extensive, high stakes research into battery technology is going on all around the world. Whoever comes up with a lighter, cheaper, safer battery will own a big chunk of the future --- and the auto industry in particular.

Apparently, Toyota has decided it won't be them. The fun fact about the future is everyone gets to choose how they want to play it.


Keep wishing, it might turn into reality.


Historically speaking --- cheaper, better technology is a near certainty.

And the push for better battery technology is not at it's end; it is just getting started. It will be the gold rush of the century.
