Sodium-ion batteries are poised to rapidly eliminate coal power by providing a significantly cheaper and more abundant solution for grid-scale energy storage. This breakthrough resolves renewable energy intermittency, rendering fossil fuel baseloads economically obsolete much faster than anticipated.
Against the backdrop of falling costs for wind, solar, and utility-scale energy storage systems, it’s difficult to see how any coal power plant in the US can survive much longer. The coal industry was already bending under the weight of low-cost natural gas in the early 2000’s, and now renewables and energy storage have added to the pressure.
