Sssh! Neglected News: Solid State revolution - without Nickel or Cobalt !

Georgia Institute of Technology - read on for details.

This would of course be bad, unwelcome news for the usual suspects - Mining Moguls, commodity traders, Wall St et al...
(Hence the deafening, near-universal media silence).

As I'm not permitted to include links in this message - please web-search(copy+paste) this headline (from Machine Design):

"New Lithium Battery Design Eliminates Costly Cobalt and Nickel":

The world's biggest electric car battery maker - CATL - may have become complacent when it comes to innovation, reports local media. It now has to fight to bring back NIO's business when it comes to the unique 600+ mile battery pack for its ET5 and ET7 sedans. NIO developed the 150 kWh "semi-solid state" battery with a nimbler competitor instead of with CATL, forcing it to go back to the negotiation table with a new "ultrahigh nickel" technology and a new EV battery chemistry offer.
