Comment Comment by jnsaff2 I know you are a sarcastic troll.But still, that 5 billion tons of coal gets mined, transported and then burned to produce energy once.A kg of coal contains about 8kWh of energy which it can release once. This is the best kind of coal. Also you only get about 40% of it as electricity.A kg of lithium will store about 1.1kWh energy in a battery .. thousands of times before it needs to be RECYCLED.Your efficiency is off by many orders of magnitude. parent jnsaff2 3 years ago
