2/2 #Batteries and #AdvancedEnergyTechnologies can be. We are already advancing in these areas enough on our own to solve some very pressing problems(if not for constant obstruction via greed and politics). Many of the leaps within our reach have had and will have zero dependency on #AI. So distance between generations of new technology is also increasing.What kind of infrastructure do we build to support those futures ? It’s the same one we need to understand and grow as worthy partners overall

Millions of people are buying electricity from the grid when it's cheap or generating it using solar panels for free, then storing it in batteries for a few hours before selling it back to the grid when prices are high. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/04/markets/energy-selling-electricity-ai-batteries/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #energy #electricity #batteries #utilities #uk #tech #ai #solar #wind #renewables #electricvehicles

I scored two brand new 5kWh batteries, but I need to strip the built in proprietary electronics for my own, so I can tie it into all the rest of the house batteries. So these shiny new BMS with built in active balancing will do the trick! #solar #batteries #renewables

Internal combustion vehicles are dead and #Solar/#Wind will beat fossil & nuclear.

#Sodiumion #batteries from #CATL start mass production in December.

Less than half the price than Lithium-ion. No fire risk. Up to 5x the charge cycles. Cold weather performance 90% at -40C. Energy density higher than LFP.

Grid energy storage will now win economically, and old batteries from #EVs driven half a million kms would make to sense to recycle into a new car.

@paulschoe The #greenwashing ratio of #FossilFuels, investing 10% of their profits to keep #renewables complacent, relies on keeping investments in place to maximize their majority profits - fossil fuels.

Keeping lithium fulfilling most of the initial capital outlay, keeps investors/shareholders loyal, while feeding the fossil fuels upstream.

#SodiumIon #batteries have been viable for decades, given the removal of fossil fuels leaders. THIS is where we've failed miserably. #resist

Could sodium replace lithium as the dominant ingredient in batteries?

@karabaic With the increasingly wild swings in climate, #desalination makes pragmatic sense. #SodiumIon #batteries are a byproduct of desalination plants that haven't been pursued, nearly enough. Even wave conversion to energy is in the mix with these plants, with other benefits to be added.

Answer: "No."

Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?

by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025

"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.

"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.

"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.

"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.

"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.

"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

@yogthos Perhaps better applied to longer range, backup applications.

#SodiumIon #Batteries have far more overlapping value to equally critical infrastructure, with less invasive mineral mining than lithium, its current global competitor.

@nickofnz How many of these minerals are becoming less necessary, with tech like #SodiumIon #Batteries going global, better cold weather performance and just as energy intensive as their competitors?

#SodiumIon #batteries hit the Midwestern grid in first-of-its-kind pilot in Wisconsin
Simpler design could make a meaningful dent in the cost of storing #electricity
According to #PeakEnergy cuts lifetime cost of stored energy by an average of $70 per KWh. Half cost of #battery today. Achieves savings by removing energy-hungry cooling, eliminating routine maintenance requirements, and reducing need to overbuild storage capacity to account for battery degradation over time
