S5:E225 In E224 I detailed the current state of Battery Tech and talked about 500Wh/kg as the inflection point for a new dynamic in electrical power. Today I’m talking about use cases and the potential for investment. The arrival of battery technology capable of sustaining a specific energy of 500 Wh/kg represents more than an incremental improvement; it is the widely recognized "holy grail" that redefines the boundaries of the energy industry and creates entirely new use cases and investment opportunities.

S5:E224 David takes a break from The Weekly Update to focus on Energy, a timely topic. It's all about innovation in battery storage as solid state batteries approach an inflection point, poised to disrupt the energy markets as they reach the critical 500Wh/kg threshold. This puts solid state batteries at a significant cost and performance advantage over fossil fuels that could take 2-3M barrels of daily oil demand off the international markets and mark the beginning of peak oil.
