In recent decades the cost of wind and solar power generation has dropped dramatically. And since renewable energy generation isn’t available all the time – it happens when the wind blows or the sun shines – storage is essential. Right now there are very few such batteries in use. Safer batteries.

These two realities, climate change and volatile energy prices, have a common denominator in fossil fuels. Even without carbon pricing, wind power is set to be 40 per cent cheaper than gas-fired power in Alberta and Ontario by 2030. They also share a common solution. These results are important for a few reasons.
