Energy in the capacitor is equal to (1/2)CV^2, so the voltage has more to do with the energy stored. By using transformers and capacitors in parallel, (Capacitance sums in parallel) you could actually do a lot with one farad, but the unit would have to be large to prevent the voltage ont he plates from arcing across rather than transferring through the electric field in the dielectric. I am sure someone in the future will try to do this, and they will have to change the rule so that only 12 volts is allowed across the plates.
