minus-squarebuzz86us@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’m more interested in sodium ion being produced that while having less density will charge and discharge in a theoretically endless cycle. Flow battery is great, but it needs to be scalable from the consumer all the way up to grid storage.

minus-squarebuzz86us@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoMy point was that something that big is unaffordable, and it needs to be scalable.
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoGuess what else is unaffordable? Nuclear.
