Fortunately there are a lot of options for grid storage and most of them don't need lithium which will be in short supply for the next few years.

- CountSessine 4y agoThis is the “20 years out” that I mentioned. In the meantime, it’s lithium.
- adrianN 4y agoPower to gas is available today, we just need to build the electrolyzers. Several MW worth are already operating in Germany for R&D purposes.
