I look at the satellites that orbit our earth for years on end. They have batteries don't they? What kind of batteries do they have?
Satellites also have access to sunlight unabated by ozone or any sort of atmosphere. Besides, batteries and electronics associated with them will always be disposable, have manufactured obsolescence, and putrefy the earth.
