... at the university. And they haven't been for decades. Microsoft and Google have thrown money and brains at these kinds of problems -- money and brains in quantities that university IT departments can only dream of. Both have economical, reliable, scalable, secure and user friendly solutions to this problem.

... but there are concerns of artificial price fixing and suspicion that retailers or members of the supply channel are taking advantage of the situation.
Falling supply in the face of unchanging demand will cause the market clearing price to rise. There is no such thing as artificial price fixing. And of course every one in the supply chain will raise their prices. That's the way it works.
This way, there is product always available for emergencies -- your drive died and you need a replacement no matter the cost. The alternative is no drives, no where, no matter what.
Disney has been doing this for decades. The ride slows, the passenger steps onto a moving belt and from there onto the platform. It requires one or more attendants available to help and occasionally hit the emergency stop when the slow and/or unwary find themselves rushing toward the dark chasm at the end of the platform.
Now if they would just install parachutes and ejection seats in airliners...
The test is to deliver 200 passenger miles per gallon. The winner had four seats so it was allowed to use up to four gallons (equivalent) of fuel to cover the 200 mile distance.

No, all they needed was access to the machine's internals, modification of it's electronics and knowledge of how to "insert a piece of 'alien electronics' into a circuit board."
Once you give someone physical control of your machine, you have given someone control of your machine.
By the time three years are up, Terrafugia will be out of money and out of business. But this still raises interesting questions...
In the unlikely event that Terrafugia doesn't go out of business, will aircraft/vehicles manufactured and sold without safety equipment be retrofitted? At whose expense?
If Terrafugia goes out of business after delivering airplanes without safety equipment will the owners be prohibited from driving them?
Terrafugia was granted a waiver (by the FAA) to the maximum gross weight regulation to allow for required road safety equipment such as air bags. Developing an economically viable roadable airplane or flying car is a hard. Doing it in today's highly regulated environment is really hard.
The simple equation is Energy In (from the Sun) minus Energy Out (radiated at the top of the atmosphere) equals the change in Earth's energy content for which air temp is a proxy. If Energy In (from the Sun) is reduced and Energy Out remains unchanged, there is a net loss of energy from the earth and the temp goes down. Or at the very least, goes up more slowly.

Why don't these alternative energy/power storage articles ever include cost comparisons? What do these flywheels cost to buy and operate compared to what they're replacing?

It's great when a prediction is both public and quantifiable.

This shows the value of issuing press releases.

The earth's single energy source would be right up near the top in the " ... complex, multi-factor system of equations."
You're making this too complicated.
The simple equation is Energy In (from the Sun) minus Energy Out (radiated at the top of the atmosphere) equals the change in Earth's energy content for which air temp is a proxy. If Energy In (from the Sun) is reduced and Energy Out remains unchanged, there is a net loss of energy from the earth and the temp goes down. Or at the very least, goes up more slowly.
Maybe the politicians will have to stop using their (our) national "credit cards" for a while. A few decades would be nice.

Private companies have been unwilling to invest in the expensive infrastructure needed to reach these areas.
Users have been unwilling to pay for the expensive infrastructure needed to reach their remote homes and businesses.
