[–] htrayl@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago This is just a shallow, cynical, anti-intellectual remark. Sodium ion batteries are already hitting production. Iron flow and vanadium redox batteries also already exist in the real world. Grid and residential battery installations are happening at a rapidly accelerating pace. Lithium ion battery prices have dropped something like 90% over the last 15 years. Battery technology is improving at dramatic rate, both lithium ion and non lithium ion solutions. permalink fedilink source parent
