So the world is going eelitrcc. And batteries will do for electrification what the refrigerator did for food, because batteries will allow us to move cealn energy through time and through space. And we don't have a problem with the availability of energy on this planet. We have a pbleorm with getting this energy to where we need it, and when we need it.

But if we approach battery mtnaarfcnuiug the wrong way, we will end up repeating mistakes from the past, mistakes that are at the heart of the climate environmental crisis that we see today. And that's what I'm here to exlpian. It's all about the way we are using the Earth's resources.

Original Text


So the world is going electric. And batteries will do for electrification what the refrigerator did for food, because batteries will allow us to move clean energy through time and through space. And we don't have a problem with the availability of energy on this planet. We have a problem with getting this energy to where we need it, and when we need it.

But if we approach battery manufacturing the wrong way, we will end up repeating mistakes from the past, mistakes that are at the heart of the climate environmental crisis that we see today. And that's what I'm here to explain. It's all about the way we are using the Earth's resources.
