Gonna need a source on the age of cheap batteries.
All large scale batteries are chack full of rare earth metals, which are not named for their famous availability.
I am just providing the contra points you did not notice earlier. I am not here to defend them.
We could talk about the new infrastructure size sodium ion batteries which use only the most available elements. But again, i am not here to discuss, just to show you that you missed the points in the original comment.
I mean sure.
But I'll also point out the comment wasn't there wasn't any reason, but a logically sound one.
Hence why I said its not logically sound to say era of cheap battery storage, because thats not our current reality.
So sure, there's other points, but none worth discussing?
