Dennard scaling/Moore's law. We pretty knew back then it'd happen. Most of the progress has been iterative but the basic process/lithography is still very similar. There is no indication or massive breakthrough in material science that would allow anything similar to what we have been seeing in the electronics development for the past 50 years. |

Then you may not be paying attention. Battery costs have been dropping exponentially and we are only starting to really invest capital and scale production. Meanwhile: 1. Solid state batteries, 2. 3D printed metal, 3. Algorithmically optimized design.
Before 2018 battery production was basically negligible. We have only truly started to scale our need for storage in 2018.
Today 3D printed metal is in its infancy, but has truly significant potential. I’m very excited to see how companies like Relativity Space, etc mature this tech and how it will disrupt current manufacturing. Even just giga molding is disruptive, let alone printing which will use significantly less metal and significantly reduce capital investment for manufacturing (i.e. something like AWS for manufacturing).
