I don't think we "might be", I think we are.

Thanks both Michale and Kathy. Adding to the point of storing energy in batteries; I watched a clip featuring folks in a third world country who was resourceful in that they rebuilt discarded car batteries. Actually remolding and replacing the essential lead plates. A bit of work but little money involved.

I watched either that one or a similar one.  Way more work and more risk than I want to take (all that acid... I've been burned on battery acid before).  But if I was desperate I might consider it.  The up side is you can probably repair a lot of the batteries out there and they are essentially free.  Even if you pay the cost of scrap lead you can sell them for the price of scrap lead when you are done...

For curiosity, does anyone know how many times car battery acid, (sulfuric acid), can be reused in a battery recycling or battery rebuilding situtation?

In the mean time other countries are moving forward in electrical production.

My sis told me that they are warming up some of their coal plants in England in case they need them.
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

If the battery is completely dead the "acid" is basically water.  If the battery won't take a charge it will remain water.
