I think the current problem with batteries is that it presents a geopolitical risk that is akin to (maybe worse than) oil.

- UncleOxidant 4y agoThere are lots of efforts in creating battery chemistries that do not rely on hard to source elements. Lithium sulfur (no cobalt required), Sodium ion (much more readily available than Li), and many other efforts - some showing good results.
- freemint 4y agoUnlike oil once there are enough batteries in a country that country is good for a long time as a batteries can be recycled quiet well (lead acid batteries have a recycling rate of 99.99x%, it is just a question of political will and new batteries being cheap right now).
