So grid scale battery storage has taken off um the past few years. voice-verified

But Cooper, a lot of different technologies have their moment. voice-verified

So why is this rise to the mainstream for battery tech different in some way? voice-verified

Mm. voice-verified

These batteries, I feel like I've seen a descendant of them in my digital camera. voice-verified

They're the kind of boxy cube batteries that you can recharge. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

We're battery hungry in the nineties and the aughts. voice-verified

What's astonishing about this story is I was I was alive during this battery revolution and I witnessed it from childhood to now. voice-verified

And I kind of just took it for granted that battery tech was like racing to keep up with our voracious need. voice-verified

Then, you know, I think about electric vehicles coming along. voice-verified

I mean, those must have bumped this development even more. voice-verified

EVs are everywhere. voice-verified

How cheap are we talking? voice-verified

Whoa. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And you mentioned that earlier, that twenty twenty one was the year there was this big jump, that battery storage capacity increased two hundred thirty percent. voice-verified

I have chills. voice-verified

I mean, this was a great time. voice-verified

And and it's kind of cool to hear that the legacy of my iPod served a greater purpose. voice-verified
