What I was saying was that there's a lot of research and prototypes already available for battery tech and they just need funding to put into production. The batteries are the last mile to clean energy for evening out the supply. Is a problem that's 90% solved and will make clean energy wholly viable. The issue isn't the tech, it's the commitment to admitting we're in a bad spot as a civilization and actually doing something about it rather than half hearted handwavy attempts to keep dirty energy in business as long as possible.

At this point I feel like others are putting words in my mouth and ignoring 90% of my statements. It is very hard to have discussions where people are arguing with points I agree (or mostly agree) with. As to the mostly agree part, yes, 90% there. But that last 10% is hard. And the other part is that we don't just need to be carbon neutral, we need to be carbon negative. It also needs to become cheap enough that other countries can implement these technologies. On these two points I wouldn't say we're 90% there, but maybe 60%.
