2. "Battery breakthroughs will save the day"
Wed Aug 27, 2025, 04:58 PM

(Greenie here.) Just like “spent” nuclear waste disposal innovation that we have been waiting for since Hiroshima? “Long term Storage”, expensive recycling for “96%” of it? Don’t worry about the other 4% plus.

Ford is leading the charge away from cobalt and opening manufacturing in the US.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4): LiFePO4 batteries are entirely cobalt-free and are known for their safety and long cycle life. They are increasingly used in EVs where safety and sustainability are paramount.

And don’t worry about your totaled Camry footprint. My 2011 EV has made that up for you. It’s like buying a carbon credit without the money exchange.
