Whale oil used to be a primary industrial fuel and lubricant. Someone invents kerosene and 30 years later whaling fleets are gone.
A battery breakthrough (tripling of energy density) could accomplish the same.
My opinion is that given our existing capabilities...Alberta could be a world leader in geothermal technology and regulations.
