What’s wrong with them? What kind of battery problems are you having?
My batteries need to be replaced in less than 100 years, and the process to recycle them causes environmental damage and negative health effects.
Batteries are bad. Always have been, always will be. The solution is to avoid batteries. We need electric trains and busses that are grid tied.
The best battery is a non electric battery. That means running solar and wind during the day and the “battery” is running hydroelectric at night.
I appreciate where you’re coming from—batteries require dangerous materials and chemicals and also have health and environmental impacts.
With that said, you are not describing batteries—battery means “energy storage” in this context. What would you suggest for that? Air pressure? Water + gravity?
What about for local or portable storage?
Agreed. I mean electrical batteries suck.
Unfortunately cars can’t run on batteries that don’t suck. Which is why we need transportation that’s grid tied.
Yeah, I mean generally, fuck cars. It sounds like you’re basically saying “more public transit” which I support.
