The transition to clean energy is moving far too slowly. Trapped by a century of fossil fuel investments and politicians that struggle to plan beyond the next election, the “Big Grid” that powers our modern world is outdated and in dire need of an upgrade. Freeing Energy offers a new and faster path towards a clean energy future — one that is more reliable, more equitable, and cheaper.

In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

Batteries come in various types, each designed to serve specific purposes and applications. The most common types include lead-acid, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries are widely used in vehicles and for backup power systems. They are known for their reliability and low cost but have a limited lifespan and require regular maintenance. NiCd batteries are often found in power tools and older electronic devices. They are durable and can handle deep discharges, but they suffer from memory effect, which can reduce their overall ...
