Thereās a big difference between downward price trajectory & actual costs. What we really need to talk about is the total cost for lithiumā¦all these standards, regulations, etc. you need to add. Itās the system level-costs that are really important.

The last decade has been the pilot phase for long-duration storageā¦thatās not whatās going to get us to scale. There arenāt market constructs to get long-duration storage built.

No thermal runaway reaction was witnessed with our zinc manganese dioxide battery. In terms of cost comparison to lead acid, zinc manganese is also cheaperā¦I want to make the case for zinc.

Weāre in a race against time. Weāre all going to need to move fastā¦It has to happen faster. We need to continue to push the state because we canāt wait.

My key takeaway: in order to go from 20 to 40 electrification weāll need more infrastructure, but that canāt be the only way. Thatās what weāll tease out next in our fireside chat.

Electrification is a once-in-generation opportunityā¦itās gonna take utilities, startupsā¦and many other partners. Itās not a one-company game. Itās gonna take investment. We will get there & we will be very proud of the journey that weāve made. Brian Savoy, @DukeEnergy
Customers are at the center of what we do. A lot of wrinkles can happen when you make the switch to electrification. We need to put [our customers] at ease and address their concerns.

The industry is fixed on net zero. Itās very much not a straight line [to get to net zero]. - Tom Flaherty, EY Parthenon @joulesxelerate
