Data storage and energy storage are two completely different technologies with entirely different engineering principles applied to them. They don't scale the same.
I believe this thinking is limited by our current realities. I, on the other hand, believe in the impossible. Just because we can not perceive it today, does not mean we are not capable of doing it tomorrow.

Hold my beer and watch.
