DECEMBER 30, 2021

As power grids everywhere increasingly rely on intermittent renewable energy, batteries and other forms of energy storage that can even out the bumps in supply and demand are taking on a crucial role. While lithium isn’t exactly in short supply, extracting it from the ground exacts a huge environmental cost. Well, let's think.
