  • Like I thought, you’re misunderstanding what you’re reading.

    Like I thought, you have nothing meaningful to say. I won't waste further time with you.

  • Yes. Things can be infinitely recyclable. But since you’re such an expert. Tell me, what part of a lithium atom degrades during its life as a battery? I’m not expecting a good answer from you though since you think that burning a compound (to release the energy in its bonds) is then recyclable.

    No, nothing can be recycled to infinite. It is asinine to even attempt to assert that.

    But since you’re such an expert. Tell me, what part of a lithium atom degrades during its life as a battery?

    Recycling Lithium batteries recovers approximately 20-96% of materials. This means best case scenario, which is not the norm in battery recycling, every time a battery is recycled 4% of the materials are lost.

    Doesn't take a math genius to see how quickly finite resources dry up with a 4% loss every single time a batteries life ends.

    Funny because I never said gas was recyclable. You should learn to read before you try to make snide comments.

    I hope the simple math and explaination I used is understandable to you, but I am not expecting much.

  • After which they are essentially infinitely recyclable.

    Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is "infinitely recyclable". Literally defies physics.

    Lets also not forget that oil is recyclable.

  • The fact that you believe renewable energy sources have no environmental impact demonstrates to me the need to no longer speak with you. My brain can take only so much ignorance and green washing is my line today.

  • Not your friend for one. For the other, I don't need to "bring the receipts" to demonstrate that mining and battery production is not good for the environment.

    Anyone who needs that is too mentally feeble to be a part of this discussion and should recuse themselves for their own safety.

  • Why are people so mad that batteries are better than dead dinosaur farts? What is the weird obsession with burning ooze and gasses from mother earth? We have better options?

    Does it hurt being this ignorant or is it truly as blissful as they say?

    The fact that you don't understand battery materials are pulled from the ground in much the same way that oil and gas is speaks volumes about value of your opinions.

  • Are you under the impression that we use NMC batteries for grid energy storage?? LOL

    Sure is weird how you think you are owning me here while ignoring the fact that all batteries have an environmental impact and Lithium is one of the worst when it comes to battery components that are incredibly costly to the environments where it is mined, which is the main component in batteries used for grid storage.

    "LOL"

  • It really is too bad about the weak life cycle, poor charge/discharge rate, and incredibly low voltage that begin the story of "Why don't we just use sodium ion batteries?" and place it directly in the "tragedy" section of the book store.

  • Typically not by injecting toxic carcinogens into the ground to do so, like we do with fracking.

    Also I’ve not heard of any strip mining activities that turn a town’s only water supply into something that’s flammable, but I perhaps missed that?

    Or the ongoing incidents of child and adult cancer caused by this itty bitty little toxic waste issue.

    No need to flat out lie in order to make a point.

    Unless you want to honestly double down on the "I am so ignorant that I honestly believe mines do not contaminate surrounding areas" card you should take off for the day, rest up, and try again tomorrow bud.

  • Batteries have infinite energy now? No storage issues due to electrical surges, heat, cold, or anything else that makes batteries sub optimal? While seemingly by magic, mining rare earth minerals spreads its environmental impact over 10-15 years of the lifetime of the battery with 0 negative impact to the area the mine is located?

    Oh wait... None of that is true so I guess you can try again.

  • Do you want the math or would you prefer less reading and more pictures?

    Nothing like an ignoramus to try and make someone else feel stupid for asking a question.

    Since you are all knowing, explain to me exactly how deep earth mining is less costly and better for the environment than deep earth drilling.

    Or did you think we just magically pull batteries from thin air at 0 cost?

  • Solar/wind + battery storage is cheaper than natural gas and a hell of a lot cleaner. It makes no sense to go for a more expensive, dirtier form of energy.

    How exactly is the production of batteries cleaner and cheaper than the production of natural gas?

  • Europe must end its quantum technology research with China over security and military risks of collaboration, researcher says

    Jump

  • The proof is reference to China. Just like if one were to say we should stop technological collaboration with India that would be enough.

    Considering both Governments are notorious for reverse engineering things they only have on the condition they wouldn't reverse engineer it, both Governments are actively hostile to the "west", and both Governments are actively helping a war criminal get his hands on things he shouldn't I think it is safe to say no one needs much more of a reason other than a history book to say "Maybe we shouldn't be trading and collaborating with hostile nations".

  • Netflix officially removes Basic - the cheapest ad-free tier

  • There are over 8 billion people on the planet and Netflix is an international company. If they decided to not fuck around and find out they could have had the majority of that market for pennies and held it well past today.

    They had the monopoly on a golden platter and fucked it up. If they were smart they would have cemented that position.
