      Where are you going to get all the materials for global energy battery storage boss man?

      We’re not talking about storing a couple Kw here and there for each household, there is also industry energy requirements.

      Once we start producing batteries for the kind of storage the price of lithium will skyrocket, and you’re in the same, maybe even worse boat of nuclear.

      Honestly your best bet is both, idk why you’re so scared of nuclear. If one of these battery storage centres goes up in flames, the amount of toxins released would be disastrous for anyone nearby. And lithium doesn’t really stop once the reaction starts.

      There are other battery technologies in the works, which would be environmentally more sound, and be far far cheaper. But it’s not ready yet.
