@lars_schernikau: Huge amounts of raw materials and energy goes into the production of batteries and then you can bridge a very small gap. 1 GWh of utility scale lithium-ion batteries requires ~0,7 million tons of raw materials (ores) to be mined, upgraded, transported, processed, and manufactured into utility scale batteries. Also this same 1 GWh of utility scale lithium-ion batteries requires approx. 450 GWh of energy before the battery can be charged for the first time… remember this multiplier of 450x.
this is an interesting topic. can you also find the exact numbers of how many million tons of minerals is needed to build an average size oilrig? how many GWh the oilrig needs to operate? how much oilspill the oilrig create? how many million liters of fuel the oil tanker needs? and how many thousand liters the supply ships needs to run? how many thousand liters just the crew helicopters needs every day? how many hundred GWh is needed to refine the oil into usable liquids? how many million liters of fuel is needed to supply the fuel across the world? how many thousand liters is needed to supply the gas station? all this for people just to burn the fuel on their way to office. so the cycle never ends. but the supply will, one day.

imagine if people would realize that to dig the raw materials we need machines that use petrol, tons of petrol....

450GW to make a 1GW battery? I dont think so. but even if true surely thats a tech issue right now which will be improved at some point?

His numbers are wrong but of course you need materials to build a battery but then you can charge it lots of times after that. Is he a lobbyist fpr oil maybe?

Green energy is just kicking the can down the road. net zero is a scam, EVs are not the answer, unless we invented a life long battery.

I love the deniers, those who know, know, those who don’t deflect, when your a gallon of fuel it’s gone, when you have emptied a battery you still have a battery… you can fill it up again, not difficult is it, I fill mine up with the sun…. Amazing, no burning stuff…. Epic

it will reach a tipping point , plus they are already comming up with ways to store the energy for 24h like sand batterys

did he just ignore that the battery can be recharged thousands if not millions of times?

Even if it is so... where is the problem? How many GW do you gain by using the battery over it's lifetime? Please give us that number as well?

Hydro is the only sustainable eco friendly solution currently an it’s full potential isn’t realised we definitely need a way of storing some of this power when we aren’t using its full potential battery’s could help until something better comes along but coal gas oil and nuclear need to stay till we make a better way an until we realise this an work towards a better future we will never grow anymore as a species an unfortunately none of us will feel the effects it will be future generations

Haha, when we all have EV's in the future they'll start saying this and then they'll force us to buy hydrogen cars. Just like they are doing now with fuel and batteries. It's all planned

A standard battery backup system for home will provide 2 - 3 days of electricity. An EV that can reverse charge might provide closer to 1 week. Success is never found by giving up on developing a technology.

El motor de hidrógeno es lo siguiente .Los Fondos Buitres se van a quedar con las fábricas de coches a precio de saldo echarán antes el cierre y los trabajadores se irán al paro .Hoy China quiere convencer con el eléctrico pero caerá dentro de unos años .El Hidrógeno lo sustituirá y vuelta con las fábricas de coches

Stimmt nicht - weil wenn man so viel Energie reinstecken müsste würde man solche Batterien niemals so billig bekommen.
Inzwischen kosten 2 kWh noch weniger als 100€ als Zellen. Und wenn dann 800 kWh Energie benötigt werden würden würde niemand Batterien bauen 😅😂😂.

The lefties will say he’s wrong - but even if the numbers aren’t perfect it’s true - storing electricity is massively expensive from an environmental point of view
