Unless they have a way to reduce the backlight and other energyrelated-problems in a costeffective way which CAN be produced in large quantities, a retina mini would be too much of a compromise.

Why? The iPad mini screen is smaller than the iPad's, by definition, hence the Retina screen would draw correspondingly less power. Why, if it isn't a compromise on the larger device, must it necessarily be one on the smaller?
Note that the much smaller iPhone has a Retina screen.
