> However, from a hyper environmentalist position, this invention unfortunately ended up fueling all manners of wars through the specific material requirements, cobalt being the prime example, it also sort of helped kick off the idea of devices that could be almost disposable (non-replaceable batteries) but these are all secondary flow on impacts of Goodenough's core invention.
From an environmentalist position nothing else has even come close to getting us away from fossil fuels and enabling renewables. The environment doesn't even care about slave labor and wars have only a minor effect. It is coal, oil, and the like that are the enemy. We are already 20 years late in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
