The renewable energy transition involves harnessing epic forces of nature. Sleek solar panels forged from silver and silica from the depths of the Earth translate the sun’s blindingly fiery light energy into electricity. Wind turbines with blades each the size of a 12-story building punctuate the skyline of wind-swept fields and help power entire cities.
What is one of the most valuable tools for making all of this possible? What secret weapon is a critical enabler of this dramatic energy transition?
Batteries.
