>Battery storage capacity doubled in 2023, and it's on pace to double again in 2024.
So this is pretty neat, I haven't kept up to date with this particular field but I feel like I've been told a lot that battery technology has plateaued, is that not true or is this just using current tech differently?

Battery tech had plateued, people are just doing retarded things like installing millions of 18650 cells on a wall.
So it's current tech being used differently. The energy density of commercially available batteries has been stagnant for at least 20 years.

I can only speak in regards to EV batteries but lithium ion batteries have declined significantly in price during the last years. Especially the cell to pack and operating costs are expected to further decrease over the coming years. (https://www.goldmansachs.com/intel
The european Reflex project found learning rates of ~16% for utility LIB and ~15% for EV batteries. Meaning the costs for utility batteries drop around 16% for every doubling in capacity.

that's not true at all. You just don't remember what using phones were like in 2010

That has at least as much to do with the consumption than the batteries.

Lithium Production is wasteful and unnecessary. The sponsorship of what is essentially disposable batteries limits market freedom and restricts the opportunity to develop better technology. Wind and Solar power, actually present better long term prospects for realistic industry development.The market range is already well established it dosnt need competition, competition essentially harms market growth
