All of this talk about electric vehicles leaves me needing to research battery recycling. How easy is it to recycle lithium ion? Or deep-cycle lead acid batteries? Do they take a huge amount of energy to produce or recycle?
I know you mention hydrogen and they have a huge problem with energy used in production. The one hydrogen production station for Toyota I used to do testing for used a windmill to generate power and, essentially, that windmill didn't offset a year's worth of my average driving. Hydrogen only stores a lot of energy when it is highly compressed, which takes power to compress, and power to keep at the proper temperature while doing it.
