Lithium-ion is something of an everyday miracle. I'm older and I remember previous rechargeable battery technologies and they were just terrible. Also, Gas and tiny portable batteries have nearly nothing in common. You're not going to be able to fit an ICE into my iphone. What's with the weird comparisons? I don't see how they are helpful. Its like when we talk about hate crimes or civilians killed in war, and other people bring out unrelated stats about car accidents or cancer. This is a common thing on the internet that almost no one questions. Its weird and frankly a dishonest rhetorical trick.
