Nowadays you can't really question anything that's taken as common knowledge. During Covid times it happened that stuff that were questioned in a year were disproved in the next year. Yet people who questioned it were treated like assholes (like it's already happening here). And then there's this hungry for clickbaits media that will publish anything that can scare people into reading their articles...

Coming back to the matter at hand, there's a lot of new battery technologies and I strongly believe that current evs will be able to switch from Lithium if a better technology comes. Also Lithium batteries are recyclable so they might become useful to store energy in the grid, though I barely see investment for it worldwide.

Nuclear for me seems more and more as a silver bullet, together with the various renewables and grid storage. But this is just energy production, we still have a lot of things to stop burning fuels that right now seem damn impossible.
