Now, one of the potential 'alternative energy' solutions is moving to a hydrogen economy. I don't know if solid state batteries would be better, but the potential for having fuel cell cars would be an interesting alternative. Cheap hydrogen coudl also replace natural gas, oil and methane for heating.. the trick is trying to produce it economically enough.
The commercialization of making cheap hydrogen from water is getting closer. A company that is trying to make hydrogen production from solar cells has adopted new catalyist technology in their efforts .. to replace platinum as a catalyst with common elements that are 20 times cheaper.
I don't know if they will be successful in the long run (until the products are actually sold, who knows).
But, here is the article about it.
