Will solid state batteries change the world?
IMO, this has real potential. Time will tell. You go John B. Goodenough! A true pioneer. A google/wiki search is in order. This guy is the real deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0nA8Cfx...

Well, I did some googling and came to two conclusions:
1. This guy Goodenough is for real, and he has published some technical papers showing that this new battery is a game-changer.
2. I don't understand the physics well enough to comprehend exactly what is so different and great about this battery.
But wouldn't it be wonderful if the "energy density" of batteries were to get close to that of petrochemicals? Gasoline stores a lot of energy in a small space and with not too much weight. But it's got some downsides, too.
