[geeks] Super/ultra capacitors for energy storage

How many years does this list think it'll be before we get the
technology and economy of scale to make it viable to use capacitors
for energy storage?

If 10 years ago someone was to tell me one could buy a 3000F capacitor
for less than $100 I would have said they were nuts, and yet this is a
reality today. 

However we are still a long way away from the energy density of
batteries. Do you think we'll be able to equal the energy density and
price of lead-acid batteries within 10 years?

Cheers,
Jonathan
