An article at the beginning of the month in Business Week predicts the storage battery market will grow substantially by 2015, likely exceeding $50 billion.

Writer Michael Butler offers interesting interpretations of the forecast, urging balance:

So, we also need to look beyond batteries, to a combination of available and efficient next-generation energy storage technologies that can help us reach our commercial and environmental goals.
