But you already are. Battery technology has made steady improvements over the last several decades. Lithium ion batteries have more than tripled in energy density since they were first introduced in the 1980s.

Not everything lives up to the hype or turns out to be cost effective, but some of what was researched outperformed the existing technology or was less expensive to manufacture and wound up in your hands. You probably just aren't aware that it was the 73rd article, the 125th, and 213th that were responsible for 3%, 7%, and 5% improvements as opposed to some of the others that either didn't pan out or turned out to be too expensive to manufacture even if they were better.
