Worldwide annual consumption of lithium grew from 15,100 tonnes in 2003 to 37,000 tonnes by 2012, a 145% increase; demand is expected to rise even further with the move towards sustainable power and electrical storage capacity increases. Indeed, the extraction of lithium from coal would offer an ironic twist to its continued use.

On any national grid, once the energy is in there, it's hard to trace the generating source—some of it will come from fossil fuels. But industrial-scale energy storage is crucial to any renewable operation: the wind dies down, the sun doesn't always shine. Without it, you are not going to get there."

As more renewables come online, battery electrics just keep getting cleaner and greener. Well, the cheapest source is from steam reformed fossil fuels, and that process produces CO2, especially when that fossil fuel is coal. The combined electrical storage efficiency of charger and batteries is 85%.
