Agreed.

The main thing about LFP is people (stupidly) shove them in a basement or enclosed space because they are "safe".

But the "safe" part is that they outgas hydrogen when in thermal runaway, which, combined with enclosed spaces like basements (where people often have gas heaters or ....), is .... a super super bad idea.

Ironically, in this situation, sodium-ion is worse than LFP in almost every conceivable way - the gas is more flammable, toxic, etc.

People who think sodium-ion is "safer" are being sold a bill of goods.
