Are you still talking about the tesla batteries? The *cells* are tiny, but the battery is composed of thousands of cells... You replace them all when the battery goes. for $36,000 when I last checked.

Batteries don't produce energy, they store energy. Where they get that energy depends from, but North America has a lot of coal generation, as well as hydro and Nuclear.
Not that clean or environmentally friendly...
*edit* I see in your last reply that you know the energy generation stats
