How do we build a world that's less dependent on fossil fuels? One solution is right under your feet. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a very boring name for a very awesome system that turns the Earth itself into a giant battery.

Keeping up with Exploding Lithium Demand In absolute terms, lithium is not particularly rare on Earth. It's the 25th most abundant element, close to nickel and lead. Bolivia alone is estimated to have enough lithium to make batteries for 4.8 billion electric cars, and since lithium is not destroyed in use - unlike fossil fuels - old batteries can be recycled into new ones, or used to smooth out the output of wind farms.
