If the energy needs of the future are going to be met by wind or solar or hydroelectric, there's going to have to be some way of storing that power.

Batteries are far, far more efficient and will require several times fewer power plants to charge the same amount of cars. Try reading the paper I linked to. The laws of physics are highly unlikely to be rewritten in the next 30 years.

Petroleum is a battery of sorts. It's an energy storage medium. So is hydrogen.
I ask you again: Has petroleum "won its fight against its own energy source"?
