If we as a nation and as a society can keep momentum behind these technology advances, we have a very prosperous future without sending so much money outside of our borders.

Moore's law was referencing computer processing power. It does not apply to batteries.
Also when industry depletes natural resources to make batteries, the cost of raw materials goes up.
Batteries have not improved much in the last 30 years when you think about it.
