In the late 1800's and early 1900's when gasoline was first used as automobile fuel, serious objections were raised and rightfully so. Gasoline is extremely dangerous stuff but we have learned to live with it to a point where even the most technically challenged are able to refuel safely and we rarely give gassing up a second thought. Hopefully, we can learn to live with supercaps a lot sooner than a hundred years.
