Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. It’s not efficient at all.

It was expensive to commercially exploit solar energy few decades ago. But over time due to rapid advancements in solar technology and the corresponding increase in conventional fuels solar energy cost has become comparable to other energy sources. But, yet it is a rather misunderstood energy. Another option is adopting solar energy.

Tesla's goals include boosting driving range by more than 50 percent —16 percent of that due to the 4680's newfound punch—while halving battery costs and bringing a $25,000 Tesla to showrooms. Each jelly-roll cell packs in more active battery material, and less wasted space in metal casing. Yet this "bigger can" brings big benefits.

Advancements that finally make desalination commercially viable. Drought conditions have intensified in Nevada and Utah, and Arizona is facing a similar problem to California-it’s growing thirstier by the day. Even though the technology has existed and was continually advanced, it was unfeasible on a commercial scale—until now.
