@dzwiedziu@mastodon.social @infobeautiful@vis.social [...] Yes! Almost every point of anti-storage propaganda repeated (the one omitted is about hydrogen being flammable). Debunking: 1. All components of lead-acid batteries are curently _byproducts_ of other indispensable industries. Lead itself accompanies copper ores. Sulfur is a byproduct of natural gas/oil purification. Whether "waste" byproducts end up in landfills or in batteries matters. 2. Battery plates can be renovated on-site using very simple machines. 50yrs ago operated by humans, now can be entirely autonomous. Very small storages (house) can be renovated by mobile semi-van mounted machine. 3. "Highly hazardous" acid somehow is not that hazardous if used in the car battery. Nor it was when used in warehouse lifters since 1890.
