Buffett's Battery Buy

Electricity storage batteries were invented in 1800 and little real progress has been made in improving them to where they can hold large quantities of immediately available power. Physics prevents it, and that cannot be changed. Batteries for cars are a boondoggle on the scale of corn ethanol, as neither will do much(and even that only for a few years) to solve the vehicular needs of the average driver. Pure electric cars with competition from fuel cell cars will keep power research at a high level so the end result will be a dramatic improvement in air quality along with an end to our reliance on fossil fuels. And, quieter roads for everyone is another undiscussed plus that I will truly love to hear happen.
