To fight #GlobalWarming & try to slow #ClimateChange increasing #AlternativeEnergy production #solar #wind etc is crucial.
What has been missing is grid level storage infrastructure since the sun doesn’t always shine & the wind doesn’t always blow. The #tech is catching up
Batteries both lithium & the newer liquid metal tech are showing a lot of promise
Countries have built grid lvl storage and building more

“Spain published its Energy Storage Strategy in February 2021, targeting the deployment of 20 GW of behind-the-meter and grid-scale storage by 2030. In July 2021 China announced plans to install over 30 GW of energy storage by 2025 (excluding pumped-storage hydropower), an eightfold increase on its installed capacity as of 2021. “

If you can store solar and wind it becomes much much more viable. This is the tech & infrastructure we need
Oh oh I forgot @BE was a chemist 😊 are you familiar with MIT professor Donald Sadoway and the liquid metal battery company Ambri
Probably just to the extent that you are. Last I knew there were technological hurdles with corrosively and storage due to the high temperatures, but I'm admittedly probably not up to date.
I'm just in the midst of updating my own storage to LiFePO4, so I'm a generation behind :)
@BE I list track of them a little while after they moved to Australia
