        Not a fan of metal fires at home either, however rare they are in practice. Solid state/sodium ion would definitely help.

      We’re already starting to see it:

      https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/lithium-ion-battery-manufacturing-capacity-2022-2030

      Global manufacturing capacity is growing so fast that we’ll likely see a huge expansion in batteries installed in lots of different places where it’s not currently economical: larger batteries in cars, grid scale storage, home storage, emergency backup solutions, etc.

      still, i presume they aren’t shipping chinese people there to work at the factories, it’s better than nothing.
