Interesting, thank you.
The graph that you linked to is interesting in more than one way. If/when China decides to take Taiwan by force, the democratic world is going to be screwed.
We've already had a massive gas supply shock in Europe when Russia attacked Ukraine. We were able to overcome it, but it required kowtowing to disgusting regimes such as Qatar and Azerbaijan.
Sure, batteries last longer than gas. An immediate rupture in supply wouldn't be catastrophic, unless the Chinese vendors can somehow turn off/disable batteries remotely. But just replacing the ones that fail would probably overwhelm our current manufacturing capability.
We've slept on an eco-bio-financial cushion too long.
