  1.  @ChannelNews1  Lithium batteries as they are including the problems with solid state batteries which cannot be recharged... kind of a big problem.... doesn't help the conventional cobalt lithium nickel batteries are dangerous in that they develop dendrites that short out the battery causing thermal runaways and battery goes up in sparks... lithium just as all alkali metals react (burn) in contact with water. Still makes me giggle on all the various EV's that go up in flames, that fire fighters are puzzled why it keeps burning for days and even weeks after the initial start, when they're literally trying to put the fire out with water. EV also doesn't solve the solution of where we get that energy either, but tries to centralize to a power plant producing the electricity. So it pushes the problem to central power plants. Nuclear is really the only option. Even if you think a hydrogen fuel cell cars. And trains... lots and lots of trains. And city level, regional, and long distant trains. Better than driving and often more efficient as it cuts down on traffic jams. Easy to achieve economy of scale. And can electrify them using a nuclear power plant or solar or wind or hydro non carbon electric grid to power the rails. Individual mode of transportation used when required in super rural areas, and of the individual car, right now the best option for now is hybrid reducing the amount of fossil fuels used. And maybe hydrogen fuel cells... problem with hydrogen, similar to that of lithium EV cars, is that it's dangerous. Hydrogen has immense energy density; highest of all other materials. But with such an energy density, it has extreme explosive potential. H2 released and mingled with ambient atmospheric gas becomes extremely explosive; irony the biproduct other than heat is H2O... but the explosive energy can tear a garage or house apart in a second... H2 mixed with the O2 in the atmosphere, a tiny ignition sources as a spark from just static electricity... and boom. The problem is real. And at present moment I can only see that nuclear would be the best way forward in order to maintain our energy needs for our current tech. And of nuclear; both the current uranium plants can be made safer, and there are other new potential methods to make thorium and even uranium plants not require pressurized cores eliminating the chance of a meltdown incident. Waste is the problem, so there needs to be discussion and commitment to where to place that waste material... and not spend billions and decide that there's contention against placing it in that location.
