If you enjoy learning about renewable energy tech, I highly recommend this 9 minute PBS video. Introducing the concept of 'flow batteries', and exploring their potential use in large-scale energy storage. It explains why using Vanadium could make safer, easily recyclable, and much cheaper grid-scale batteries;

I have no idea what chemicals are currently used when building such systems. But if they're lithium ion they'll be stupidly expensive to build, and if they're lead acid - which seems more likely - they'll need replacing much sooner.

@Alpha1Nine Sorry but i call bullshit.

Australians want nature protected

If that were genuinely so, #TheGreatUnwashed would have abandoned Shit1 & Shit2 long ago, then swung behind the Greens in droves.

Any nation whose populace still gives 30+% support to cretins & creeps like Liebs & Nuts, is absolutely NOT serious about climate crisis, biodiversity, environment, & numerous other acts of decency.
