      We literally have them in use already but ok… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH8xyFzSMc0 as Ev’s continue to replace autos they become cheaper than diesel.

      that wishful-thinking and technosolutionism

      you should direct that to the 5 people who have said grid scale batteries in this thread

        Oh yes of course, a mine only use fuel for their vehicles. You know a whole lot about mining, obviously.

      China is doing that. It does make sense as mining operations tend to also are far out so not needing to send fuel in would allow the less dense battery to pay itself off if the operation goes long enough.

      Electrification of the operation also could benefit if we get better technique to process nuclear to convert some of them to energy on site
