Can Lithium Batteries Reduce Global Warming?
This one sounds nuttier than just about anything we've seen lately, but the BBC has a story on a whole new series of rechargeable lithium batteries and how they can be used to help reduce global warming. Here's the scoop:
"Professor Peter Bruce says the batteries could be used to store electricity produced by renewable energy sources such as wind power. So-called hybrid cars incorporating lithium batteries, along with petrol or diesel power, would help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, he says.
The St Andrew's University expert was talking at the BA Festival of Science. Hybrid road vehicles would help the UK meet the government's renewable energy targets for 2020, he told an Exeter audience."
