PowerAll of these batteries, and development of battery metals is great news and will only help Fortune. However, I'll reiterate a concern I have. Batteries are only storage devices, they do not create power. They must be charged to operate, and this power must come from somewhere. Unless we have substantial investment into our power infrastructure (generation, transmission, distribution) the brown-outs we have had across North America because we can't heat our homes in Texas, cool our homes in California, or run our new electric furnaces, kitchens, and so on.
The US consumes about 123 billion gallons of gasoline and 44 billion gallons of diesl fuel per year. Thats a lot of energy to replace. I wonder where it will come from, given we're already suffering from electrical energy shortages.
