<p>Added some thoughts of mine</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In my opinion they have their use case, mainly small electronics, and recycling will scale up and develop (also &quot;seccond life usage&quot; where batteries that lasted longer than the life of device &#039;x&#039; is used in new device &#039;y&#039; )<br /> <br /> The real solutions in my opinion are:<br /> <br /> *New Battery Design, and potentially Non-Lithium Batteries (Some of these are in development, but need more info on this, most will be a while off (again c i t a t i o n n e e d e d )<br /> *Advocacy for usage of other methods whenever possible, and development of said devices<br /> <br /> In my opinion grid scale (outside of [[Microgrids]] , but even then [[Lead Acid Batteries]] etc are more reasonable in those cases) are stupid, due to other solutions making more sense, mainly [[FES]] , thermal storage, [[P-to-X]], or even just other batteries; Lithium Ion Batteries main advantage is weight, in most cases short of protable devices this doesn&#039;t matter, sometimes space doesn&#039;t matter as much either<br /> <br /> Many other technologies scale better than Li-ion batteries, for instance [[Flow Batteries]] scale VERY well<br /> <br /> Also fuel cells and alternate fuel economies (is [[Biofuel Economies]] or [[Fuel Economies]] a page? I think i made one on some advocacy group, and [[Biofuels]] has a list of fuels, not infastructure though.<br /> <br /> Bit of rambling, this text will need cleaning up<br /> <br /> <br /> ---</div>
