Great and all, but this is a literal press release. It could be PR spruiking, it could be pump’n’dump play, it could be friggin genuinely great. No way to know from a press release.
Sodium ion batteries are already a thing. It's coming for sure. Either this or some other company. But we need it.
It's always great when not depending by other countries I guess, specially when they are bloody dictatorships
Now i know Australia has been having some trouble with conservatives recently and is overrun with emus, but i’m not sure the entire country counts as a bloody dictatorship yet.
@sonori yea, not all suppliers of Lithium and other produce for modern batteries are bloody dictatorships. But sadly the whole world does not rely solely on them.
True, but the largest suppliers are democratic countries, and scale does matter in this type of conversation.
We have the raw materials in Australia but not the capability to process them.
Nothing stopping you from investing in moving up the value chain except a lack of government interest in doing so.
...and is produced with minerals such as iron and sodium ...
Iron is a mineral 🤨?
IIRC even ice is technically a mineral
Which makes water lava, technically speaking
Wow 🤣... you guys are fun 🤣.
Go look up mineral in a dictionary... it literally means anything solid that's not "organic".
So yeah iron and sodium (salt) are absolutely minerals and so is ice.
So, minerals are then divided in subcategories, like metals, right?
