  • Energy Storage Opportunities vs. Irrational Expectations [View article]
    I agree with the authors assertion that exotic, rare-earth element batteries will never be commercially viable for cars. The near term future is in existing technology: diesel electric hybrids, which is what the locomotive industry figured out six or seven decades ago. At 60-80 mpg, you'll be able to afford biodiesel at $20/gal long after peak oil.

    Oshkosh (OSK) has figured out that adding old-school capacitators to military diesel trucks provides excellent performance at something like a 20% mpg gain. I'm not sure why some of these unobtainium concept projects are attracting more attention than that.
