Using water instead of lithium. 😯
To decarbonize our energy system, we need to use renewable energy sources efficiently. And we also need to find a way to make them reliable, as the world's energy needs cannot wait simply because the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. Due to the intermittency of sources like wind and solar, engineers are working tirelessly to devise new ways of storing energy when available and releasing to the grid when needed.
Large and efficient batteries are crucial for smoothing out peaks and dips in energy demand without relying on fossil fuels. In the latest video by the YouTube channeland the world's largest battery. Apparently, the world's largest battery uses water rather than lithium, and the YouTuber answers whether an old technology be the answer to our energy woes. If you want to learn more, make sure you watch the video embedded above, and as always, enjoy.

Energy shift creates opening for 'world's largest batteries'Sprawled like a gigantic swimming pool atop a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan is an asphalt-and-clay pond holding enough water to produce electricity for 1.6 million households. It's part of the Ludington Pumped Storage Plant, which uses simple technology: Water is piped from a lower reservoir — the lake, in this case — to an upper one, then released downhill through supersized turbines. Supporters call these systems “the world's largest batteries' because they hold vast amounts of potential energy for use when needed for the power grid.
