Book Summary
Lithium batteries may hold the key to an environmentally sustainable,
oil-independent future. From electric cars to a "smart" power grid that can
actually store electricity, letting us harness the powers of the sun and the
wind and use them when we need them, lithium--a metal half as dense as water,
found primarily in some of the most uninhabitable places on earth--has the
potential to set us on a path toward a low-carbon energy economy.
In "Bottled Lightning," Seth Fletcher takes us on a fascinating journey, from
the salt flats of Bolivia to the labs of MIT and Stanford, from the turmoil at
GM to cutting-edge lithium-ion
