This development is a goldmine opportunity to reduce America’s economic and energy dependence on foreign states and to create thousands of clean, good-paying middle-class jobs.
Fwiw, the entire thing is a q&a with a scientist that is only speaking on the potential of magnesium-ion batteries. Even they state it’s too early to say one way or the other.
is there a good, viable alternative in the horizon?
MgIon

are there commercial applications? i have no reason not to be skeptical given how common it is to hype up new battery tech only for it to be nothing.

Maybe solid state. They still contain lithium, but it could possibly be replaced with other components like magnesium. But it’s still a ways out:
