Sodium battery technology is the future, and is still a nascent technology at industrial scale. It doesn't pollute much to make 'em, either. Canada has the highest educated population in the world, per capita. I'd love to see a big plan from Carney's government to offer subsidies for massive sodium-battery storage facilities (and home-based energy storage, for that matter), so long as the batteries are made in Canada (or something like that).

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a brilliant industry to try to get into. They operate effectively *down to –40°C, too, so they could actually work in cars for Canadian winters, or for in-garage home energy storage.
