Hopefully sometime soon we will see one of the countless many new battery technologies that have come about in the past few years come into fruition. This would be beneficial not only for small scale electronic devices but also for electric cars.

Also, fusion power.
Far better battery technologies would be great for renewable energy adoption.

I think that it would spawn a whole new range of technologies and could be a big game-changer in renewables and consumer electronics.

Now some of that battery technology needs to become financially viable so it can come out of R&D and into the market...
