dik, is there any battery chemistry that isn't toxic?
NiCd, Pb-H2SO4, Li; I can't think of any offhand that I would want to dance with.

Well some are worse than others, but you're right, I can't think of one that isn't very bad.

In the combustion context, vanadium pentoxide is able to flux metal surfaces at temperatures as low as the 1150°F range, so attack can be rapid and catastrophic, even for high alloy materials.

Why bother with chemical batteries when you've got the totally feasible and definitely efficient Energy Vault to utilize?

Don't think anyone has mentioned the elephant in the room - coal exports to Russia's only friend.
