There's got to be a catch. If the technology is so much better, why is it so shunned? I have great trouble believing that Big Lithium would really be preventing it's use given that aluminium is abundant everywhere.
- lazyjones 7y agoThe catch is that this battery isn't rechargeable, it has to be swapped out and recycled.
- emilfihlman 7y agoAh, this explains it 100%.
- Taniwha 7y agowell they claim that aluminium smelting is clean - it isn't, they emit evil fluorides, including HF. They also consume the carbon anodes making large amounts of carbon monoxide which best case is oxidised to CO2 and released into the atmosphere
- emilfihlman 7y agoLithium probably has similar or worse issues, though?
