Sodium ion batteries are just about ready for mass production, they take up twice the amount of space as lithium but are just as effective and far cheaper
What is your source on that? I heard some news about china making some breakthroughs on sodium ion batteries but I am waiting for independent confirmation on that because, well china has let us down more often than not with “bleeding edge” tech.
I was thinking molten salt would be a better energy sink for the here and now.
Hydrogen gets shit on loads, but this is exactly the kind of thing it can do pretty well. When you have excess, you don’t need to have to worry about efficiency in the same way. Then it’s ready to go once needed.
Yeah storage is sadly difficult and time consuming. I mean if we aren’t just using a crap ton of lith-ION.
