Fascinating blog post.

Help me understand: isn’t solar a dead end? The sun doesn’t always shine, we need to 10,000x our battery capacity to run the world on solar, and we’d be strip mining the Earth for those battery metals. 

Nuclear is the only way. Obsession with solar only furthers oil (see Germany).

Yep, this is still way too underappreciated.

Here are some crazy stats from https://ourworldindata.org/battery-price-decline (focus on Li-ion).

You can meet a huge chunk of the energy demand in most places even with current prices and technologies for solar energy and energy storage. But both still improving rapidly.

Good blog post about this: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2023/07/12/grid-storage-batteries-will-win/
