CCC has Vanandium = YES


Boxcar-sized VRB batteries will provide grid-level electricity storage and thus are seen as a solution to the most common problem with clean energy production - a lack of ability to store the electricity generated by wind and solar power facilities. Vanadium is also a valuable supercharger for lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles, which are expected to be produced in the millions by the next decade.

Both types of super-batteries rely heavily on vanadium, which historically has been mostly used in the U.S. as an added alloy to strengthen steel and aluminum. Elsewhere in the world, it is often mined as a by-product of iron ore or uranium mining. But North America's only domestic supplies are extracted from the oil refining process, which is quite expensive to achieve. And it doesn't yield much vanadium.
