Episode description

Lithium-ion dominates the battery world, but alternative chemistries are finding their niches. I talk with Landon Mossburg, CEO of Peak Energy, about using sodium-ion batteries for large-scale grid storage.

We also explore the geopolitical opportunity of competing in a battery market that China doesn't already completely own.
