Over the past decade, prices for solar panels and wind farms have reached all-time lows. However, the price for lithium ion batteries, the leading energy storage technology, has remained too high. So researchers are exploring other alternatives, including flow batteries, thermal batteries, and gravity-based systems.
CORRECTION (March 14, 2020): At 12:53 we incorrectly identify the size of the energy storage market. Overall, the energy storage market is predicted to attract $620 billion dollars in investments by 2040.

The Future Of Energy Storage Beyond Lithium Ion
We seem to be fixated on perpetuating the grid which will continue to be our Achilles Heel.
Maybe few parts and:
1. Water electrolysis
2. Dividing H from O
3. CO2 from air obtaining
4. Methane producing by using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis 😀
Maybe for bigger power storage it would be more efficient (especially for wind turbines) to use big high-pressure air tanks?
very informative!
If we ever get serious about reducing emissions and environmental impact we go nuclear. NP requires a fraction of the resources of W&S nor does it need backup.
without bills, can in 30 years 300 000 usd credit to take up and this in venture to turn 5 years turn back… from no costs exist not better.
Weird hydrogen production with excess energy is not talked about
ZMM on the ASX. 99% down. Smart lifetime investment?
RAN on the ASX. 99% down. Smart lifetime investment?
Technology is getting better every month as development and research are also continuing to grow. However, one cannot simply cut-off fossil fuels before a clear solution is viable.
Air battery
Warning! What about storage in hydrogen production?
Advantages and disadvantages of geothermal energy 💥 explain content over this please
OK👌🆗🆗👍

Or the building
Same with the house
Because it is producing or making electric by motion vehicles or it’s own EV battery
The car electrical generator must have for the electrical vehicles
Limit to make cars very important and keep same distance to move for stop and slow and make room for traffic between rather than the main road move closer to jam the road way
Just like the UFO vehicle flying saucers they make it own electric to power the vehicles
We know when vehicles move they make wind as we stop under the sun we have free electric or we make electric that save from battery able to run electrical generator to run endlessly to store electric in battery. There is no need to stop for recharging
While engine running so we make the electrical engine small to charge battery as for stop while it is running it able to charge battery
All vehicle that make run by solars and wind should be charge automatically while ebegine running
Solars panel on the roof rather than one the empty land
One we able to make energy the energy are there forever because we make batteries to save them and use those batteries to run electrical generators to produce more energy
We are looking for sufficient the plan make cars can not be out of control as well as human population can not control just like price stock overprice and under price
We must instruct them fast slow and stop same distance rather than move closely t9 each other between or same as same lane then jam the road way but make more vehicles for sale out control
We do not want daily traffic jam with accidents and non accidents
Then wars and crimes overwhelm
Or nation to nation to make monies out of control by make houses and building and road way and then overwhelm human population productive
