Disagree that improving batteries was ever popular vs wonkish. Definitely disagree that average climate change advocates discussed this.
I went to college in 2012-2016 at a liberal arts college (emphasis on liberal, folks certainly cared about climate change). I can’t recall a single conversation about working on battery tech. I can recall several on geoengineering & pumping white sulfur into the atmosphere.
