Where does the electric grid come from to charge all these marvels? 20% available solar or 30% available wind generation? Where is the transmission and distribution grid to carry the load? Californicate is already doing rolling blackouts due to the current load capacity.

Typical progressive.....kill the planet with progress, cry like a lil bitch and blame others...... claim the next try will fix what progressives did that needs fixing.
Nothing dirtier than solar and batteries......good fix for morons and dumbasses.

That is great news in reducing toxic chemicals both for the environment and for people who need to handle the chemicals. But since we have been in a grand solar minimum which so far has lasted more than 2 solar cycles with no indication of ending anytime soon (last one lasted nearly a century), climate alarmists need to find something else to obsess over. Maybe they should "follow the science" for a change.
Google the chemicals used in solar and battery manufacturing..... its not reduced, its tripled.......... without equal they are by far the dirtiest option.

Ask the folks in Texas how the summer has been so far.

Nothing has changed, don't act like this is new .

It certainly has been wetter and cooler this year here in upstate NY! The hottest it’s been is 81 - unusually cool - and we’ve had afternoon showers for the past 2 weeks - also unusual. The lakes and waterfalls are so full for this time of year, no complaints, though…it’s really lush and green…and our winter was one of the coldest in recent years. Our pipes froze, which has never happened before.
I should have qualified that I was relating how the El Nino/La Nina effects the southwestern States. I don't know what the effects of El Nino and La Nina are so far from their source or far from where they hit the USA, which is in the southwest States. But the effects must in some places be the opposite as hot dry air flow into the wind currents of an El Nino.

The article said they found a way to make them more efficient while using less lithium or chemicals. Yes they are still a far more "dirty" than using fossil fuels and a very great deal more so than nuclear.
I was making the comparison with these and what is currently being used in electric cars; not with these and using fossil fuels.

Nuclear is the way to go

I agree. But I wish they would use a different name than "nuclear". That word makes people think of bombs and war and other negative things. People "going nuclear" means they're acting in an unrestrained manner - wild and crazy, etc. It's not a "nice" word, imo.
I have no idea what a 'good' name would be for it, though. "Green" doesn't work - it doesn't make sense. There are parts of the world that are not "green" that are beautiful and life-sustaining, like the deserts in Nevada and Arizona. It doesn't make sense to use "green" for energy that will be used everywhere, not just where it is "green" (trees, grass, bush, etc.).

No such thing! Gas is cheaper to extract and no huge killer batteries to dispose of!
