Energy transition

Still missing on the article (section Industrial) is info on mass production of simpler (and easier to produce) renewable energy devices. In particular:

  • concentrated solar power plants (mirrors can be easily mass-produced), easier then PV panels
  • solar thermal collectors
  • plant propagation, for mass plantations, see Trillion Tree Project, also some manufacturers (like Visser, ...) have developed automated plant cuttings systems, not sure whether machines exist for large-scale seed harvesting. Could be mentioned.
  • some industrial manufacturing is being done on lithium-ion batteries (vehicle use), examples include Tesla's (on some other companies, see european battery alliance) Gigafactories
  • grid energy storage: I suspect those composite blocks used in some gravity-based energy storage systems (see Energy_storage#Solid_mass_gravitational, and https://energyvault.com/ ) are probably mass-produced, and they're quite simple
