Addendum on the battery energy density.

The reason why one cannot make a battery with higher and higher energy density is: from higher energy density directly follows higher fragility. The safety margins that keep the battery from violently "discharging" become smaller and smaller, the higher the energy density.

Most if not all energy storage/source tech (maybe except solid/liquid (hydro)carbons) follows this characteristic, be it a hydropower dam or compressed hydrogen storage tech.

Fundamentally they're all physical/chemical limits of the materials involved. The reinfored concrete to build a dam just has its structural limits, as do the electrode/electrolyte materials in batteries, there's no getting away from that.
