The figure I use is an equivalent across the board of energy sources. Lithium is about 6% as effective as gasoline, in terms of its ability to store energy. Wind is something like 1 trillionth as effective as a gallon of gas and solar is only a bit better than wind.

Nothing, except nuclear, can beat hydrocarbons. It’s just that there is more need for copper, to electrify society than there is copper.
