    Only another decade or so, I imagine, then the electric engine world will come together nicely. Right now, it's just too expensive (buy-in cost not operating cost) for smaller scale operations, but larger corporations could benefit. I'm still waiting for better batteries, we're just not there yet. Still, it's nice to see some progress, no matter how slight.
