The rise in global demand for lithium—spurred mainly by the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles—has triggered expanded mining of the world’s known major caches of lithium. The area, said to be the driest region on earth, has long been a premier source of sodium nitrate, or saltpeter. That’s a long commute.

As the percentage of electricity supply from wind and solar increases, grid operators will need to employ strategies and technologies, including energy storage, to balance supply with demand given the intermittency of the renewable supply. The Stanford study considered a future US grid where up to 80% of the electricity comes from renewables.
