Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?
Lemmchen@feddit.org 5 days agoIn Germany we already often have more energy than we can use and wind turbines have to be shut down so the power grid doesn’t get overwhelmed. What we need most right now (here in Germany) is more grid expansion and not necessarily more energy production. Also, not every store of energy has to be lithium batteries.

In fact, sodium batteries seem to be taking off and the only downside they have compared to lithium batteries is battery density, which isn’t a problem for grid storage.
