Alas, I recall seeing an old article about electric-car technology, which reached about the same conclusion: (roughly) "we've got most of it under control, but we could really use a breakthrough in batteries". That's still pretty much where electric cars are today. That article was from circa 1910. So, holding of breath not recommended... :-)
