Demand drives innovation.
Drawing a line in the sand creates incentive for capital investment to innovate.
Reality is the line in the sand has already been drawn by consumers who are validating the demand.
Innovation, not just in batteries but across all tech, has already happened.
That we've not seen it is more a function of economics.
There is plenty of stuff sitting on shelves that can be done today but won't really be marketable till some time down the road when it becomes profitable.
It's always been that way.
