This has been my on of my "cross my finger" bets for a long time. I haven't been worrying about the price of batteries because of their need in other technology. Here's my Connections show POV :

Space program microcircuittry miniaturization
-> Desktop PCs
-> Laptops
-> Battery miniaturization
-> Other consumer goods battery miniaturization
-> Hybrid cars

And the push for cheaper, lighter batteries will continue in service to Moore's Law regardless of Hybrid cars. Soooooooooooooooooooooo, thar bee good things coming!
