Nice, but it will take a few years. It will extract lithium from the brine of the geothermal plant at the Salton Sea. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/04/21/statevolt-plans-54-gigawatt-hour-battery-factory-in-southern-california/

2022-04-23 Cynic’s Posts Complain But Offer No Solutions
Piotrek Puczek said, “Nothing has been solved, hydrogen will only be for miche applications…” There are other catalysts besides expensive metals, but they may not be as efficient. But efficiency is not a concern when the power is excess that would otherwise be constrained – wasted, unused. There are Youtube videos of hydrogen generators that

So now we can use up all the plastic waste? Just kidding… https://cleantechnica.com/2022/04/15/grid-scale-storage-solutions-plastic-freeze-thaw-battery-edition/
2022-04-15 Hibernating Battery For Seasonal Storage
The PNNL claims this phase change energy storage can hibernate for long-term storage. They stated that the room temperature battery must be heated up to 150 deg C to bring it out of hibernation. There are a few problems that I see with this. The battery takes time and power to heat it up to

2022-04-14 Watson’s Buzz Beeper
Watson’s Buzz Beeper I built this Buzz Beeper to find out if an audible tone could be used for sending simple commands, like turn on. Recently I built a microphone preamp with a bandpass filter that can detect my whistle. But it can be triggered by loud noise. So how about I generate a tone

2022-04-01 LFP Batteries Almost As Good As NMC
Article gives Wh/kg for new LFP and cobalt free batteries. The recent excessive high price of nickel is causing the industry to reduce or avoid it. Also eliminating cobalt. The future batteries may become dependent on phosphate, of which 70% of the world supply is in Morocco. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/03/31/lfp-battery-news-is-the-end-of-nickel-in-sight/

2022-03-26 Sodium-Ion Batteries Go Mainstream
Talk about Na-Ion batteries, Reliance Industries acquiring Faradion, CATL’s Na-Ion batteries. CATL says they are going to produce Na-Ion batteries with 190 Wh/kg and believe it’s possible to make them as high as 250 Wh/kg – this is better than Lithium-ion today. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/03/26/the-weekend-read-sodium-ion-batteries-go-mainstream/
2022-03-26 Musk: Nickel Manganese Batteries
She said the one very important point at the end: << Estimates show that the world is going to need 300 terawatt-hours of battery cell production in order to transition fully to a sustainable future. That is an obscene figure. >> This is a obscenely huge amount of battery cells. This is why the world
