A fossil energy society that has prospered for over a century is now required to be replaced by a renewable energy society. To maximize renewable energy and minimize costs, we need to develop massive storage methods that make it possible to convert the intermittent supply of these energy sources into reliable assets. However, our goals are extremely high and, despite great efforts, an incremental approach which we are based on may be neither practical nor efficient. Because it may include intangible restrictions which has been generated in the current paradigm started in the 19th century. This paper is a preliminary study that attempts to redesign the approach from a scratch, by providing a different perspective based on the dogma of the 17th century scientific philosophy which has been created to develop a reliable and efficient modern science.
From a view point of the Management of Technology, not only reasons why and how the innovation stagnation can occur, but also a back-casting approach has been implemented in successful paradigm shift cases in the past. A preliminary result regarding the cost per energy of the long-term renewable energy storage systems was shown.
