Batteries might work for storage, they have their own version of moore's law and will continue to get better and cheaper for a while.

Now if only there were a way to bundle that energy storage with a means of transportation...

You realize the irony of replying on a thread about an article saying we’ve grossly underestimated by 3x the amount of battery materials we’ll need? And that’s just for EVs, not grid batteries. Yes, there’s the far out idea of maybe we can use car batteries to do that role but our grid is not designed for it and there’s all sorts of other problems of that.

Fission is a much saner cost effective solution that requires much fewer ancillary changes than renewables would to fully move the grid.

If Fission is so great, go build it. I'm not stopping you. But use your own money or get off the podium.
