And battery technology is all there could ever possibly be to solving the energy crisis. Good to know. There's no other way we could have ever possibly got off fossil fuels. Super.

I know people are ganging up on you. However, we actually do need better battery technology to get off fossil fuels. The reason being is that fossil fuels are like batteries, in that they store energy. You can transport them and unleash the energy elsewhere, as needed. If you have, for example, a wind farm, the power is coming in as the wind turbines turn, but then stops when they don't. People's power use is never going to exactly coincide with that windbine turning, you also need to transport the energy from the farm and into the device/vehicle.
I also don't think there was some conspiracy or misinformation campaign to avoid better technology. For example, if you'd been able to develop and patent a modern cell phone battery in 1985, you'd rule the world. You would have been able to corner the electronics market, then the media market, etc...
