Sodium-ion batteries are poised to rapidly eliminate coal power by providing a significantly cheaper and more abundant solution for grid-scale energy storage. This breakthrough resolves renewable energy intermittency, rendering fossil fuel baseloads economically obsolete much faster than anticipated.
