Lithium Ion Batteries and GEVs: False Gods for the New Millennium

I believe your argument is slightly flawed. I think you neglected to account for the CO2 emitted during the manufacture of the batteries. I can accept that the emissions for the manufacture of the vehicles themselves may be similar, but for the batteries.

Li-ion Battery Technologies: Understanding Their Development Path

John, I find your posts provide some of the most useful and insightful information on the internet. Thank you.

With regard to energy storage technologies to support wind and solar, the more I read about thermal storage (liquid salt) the more sense it makes. The energy density is huge, deep discharge is not a problem, it can store energy from any electrical source, the round-trip efficiency is excellent and it is relatively inexpensive.

I would appreciate your perspective.

Thanks
