    there’s not enough lithium on this planet to store enough energy for like half of europe nevermind entire world

    This is a good use case for sodium batteries. They’re less energy-dense so not great for vehicles, but for a stationary application like this they’re perfect.

      yeah this is fine, but these need to run at high temperatures last time i’ve checked. that makes it a bit more complicated to use
