I'm sure most of what Mr Wright said was accurate but he did repeat a fallacy about batteries I've heard before that needs correcting. Battery costs not only can, but are and will continue to fall. The argument about material cost is simply wrong for a number of reasons I don't have time to go into now but can be easily seen by looking at the historic costs of batteries and the projected costs in the road maps of battery producers. Moores law is in action and has no sign of stopping in the near to medium future.
