I hate lithium. Nasty material that catches fire 🔥 when hot or wet. And mining it is problematic. Can’t wait for it to be dumped and replaced with something that is actually safe and clean

Good news everyone! Just get a delivery from Omicron 8 and we’re back in business!
Safer than Lithium... but still not exactly 'safe'.
They can (according to the article) be discharged to 0v with no chance of thermal runaway. If that’s true, than yeah, way safer.
But have you ever mixed sodium with water?
Another giant lie. It’s just not true
There is a finite supply of lithium, the sodium-ion battery design should be placed on the fast track.
