By year's end, 96 percent of the US's grid additions won't add carbon to the atmosphere.

    I’m excited about salt batteries taking up the slack on a lot of this infrastructure in the future.

      Iron-air rust batteries are also pretty intersting. Just iron, air and water to store power by exploiting how rust forms.

      They are a lot more expensive than expected at the moment, once they start selling at the 30$/KWh they were proposed at they will be fantastic but if they stay at their current price LFP is going to be a lot cheaper.

        Yep your not wrong. In my local area, they are starting to use them for the grid. I know one of the engineers over at a local makerspace. The process is getting refined ATM. Its cool this and concrete power cells are becoming a thing.
