The 'holy grail' of batteries: Scientists develop an 'iron-air' battery that stores electricity for days through rusting - and is a fraction of the cost of lithium-ion equivalents

#6  "The battery works through rusting iron and then reversing the rusting process"

What are the power input costs for this "process"?

#4  If you can afford and Electric F-150, you more than likely have more than 1 car.

#3  I was gobsmacked by the commercial for the new Ford electric F-150 pickup: They showed the owner proudly plugging his battery into his garage and powering his house during a power failure. D'Oh! What happens first: the electric company fixes the outage or the driver (and his family!) are stranded with no means of transportation?

#2  Didn't realize I had an 'electric pickup'.

#1  That is good. Our civilization does need a more efficient and less toxic battery despite of "climate change". We will only consume more things that need electricity and non-toxic batteries will be vital.
