[Wealth Daily] Alex Koyfman / Apr 17, 2024 The DOE Just Bought This Lithium Killer I’ve been bullish on lithium for months now, ever since prices dropped more than 75% from late-2022 highs. If you read these pages with any regularity, I probably don’t need to tell you that since I talk myself blue on the topic every single week. Thankfully, today I’m not going to talk about lithium. Instead, I’m going to talk about another metal — one that may actually succeed in eclipsing lithium in one specific but important segment of the rechargeable battery sector. That metal is vanadium — a seldom understood and often overlooked “transition” metal whose primary usage is as an additive in the steel refining process. [vanadium] Now, you can make batteries using vanadium, but there’s a catch. Battery-grade vanadium is extremely expensive — more than 3x the price of silver, in fact. The result: Vanadium batteries cost around 2x what lithium-based batteries cost per kWh. Nvidia Could Crash Soon Nvidia’s days are numbered... Because there’s a [new player in the AI market...]( A Californian company that developed a groundbreaking chip — one that outperforms Nvidia’s chips 100x. The U.S. Air Force is just one elite client that was allowed to use it early. But soon this chip will be available to the mainstream. And if you position yourself before it reaches the mass market, you could turn every $1 into $120... Just like early Nvidia investors did. Keith Kohl just published an urgent presentation on this unique opportunity.

Lithium-ion batteries, even the next-generation solid-state lithium batteries which we’ve been hearing so much about in the news, only last somewhere between 500–1,500 charge/discharge cycles before the onset of a sudden and dramatic drop-off in charge capacity, as well as an increased risk of catastrophic failure. Vanadium batteries, on the other hand, can go for up to 25,000 cycles without noticeable loss in performance. That’s up to 30 years of reliable, peak-level operation. This kind of longevity is fairly useless in things like smartphones, tablets, and other wireless devices, as we tend to replace those every few years regardless, and the energy density deficiency makes vanadium batteries too big and bulky to be practical in EVs. But there’s one application where vanadium shines: commercial- and industrial-scale power storage. For every solar or wind farm, a large battery array must be built nearby to store and discharge power not immediately consumed — a universal constant in the world of renewables. Can Vanadium Batteries Save Our Power Grid? Right now, lithium dominates this space as it dominates all others, but using lithium for long-term industrial work is like using a backup generator to run your house fulltime. Over a 25–30-year life span, vanadium batteries deliver substantially more power before performance decay begins. [vanadium] With vanadium's added features of reliability and safety (vanadium batteries are all but fireproof), and with the task of patching and supporting our aging power grid looming over us, lithium's hold over distributed energy storage is sure to start changing in short order. Now, it’s true, you don’t often hear about this segment of the battery market, and there's a reason for that. Building-sized batteries sitting behind chain-link fences just aren’t as sexy as the latest iPhone or the new Tesla Roadster that’s supposed to debut next year, but collectively, distributed power storage is the third-largest segment of the battery market. Tesla Is Dead... Elon Musk Is Ruined Thanks to a new discovery — known as “Blue Gas” — electric car companies like Tesla are about to go down in flames. “Blue Gas” is 100% emission-free, can propel vehicles hundreds of miles, and allows cars to fully charge in just minutes. And the tiny company behind it is primed to absolutely shatter any gains ever paid out by Tesla.

But it’s already producing large-scale batteries and is building its client list. The company recently got a major order to power a U.S. Department of Energy-funded project. So this company and its technology is anything but unknown to those whose opinions matter the most. My readers first heard of this company a few weeks ago, but right now [I’m making this informational video available to all of our free readers as well.]( It’s everything you need to know about vanadium, the batteries it powers, and the future of the distributed energy storage industry. [Check it out right here, no charge, no registration.]( Believe me when I say that you’ll never see lithium in the same light again.
