Sounds like one of those things you need to wait for a confirmation of before getting excited or interested.

#1, Yep. Or something one of the big oil companies will buy up so it never sees the light of day if it actually works.

I've seen hundreds if not thousands of amazing advances in battery tech over the last several years. All but one or two never make it to production. Like graphene, the potential is amazing, but without reliable and economical means of production, they're nothing more than an interesting laboratory experiment.

Not to sound negative - these technologies are the future! Eventually someone will engineer better methods. I've just learned not to become too excited over every advancement when it's announced, and rather wait to see if it also viable.

The trickier part is deciding if one is worth investing in.

When any company, big business or the USA itself is stuck with a literal lying scheming axx hxxx in charge with neither ability, intellect nor ethics - the pathetic sad outcome for all of us will be very bad news. Biden knows nothing and does nothing just like his worthless DEI obsessed VP and cabinet.

Koreans are ambitious and like other countries without a Biden are working at improving things and not playing divisive destructive identity politics like USA. We have somehow ended up with a POTUS that is a true nightmare. One look at the smirking ancient frown face failure and schmuck should make one worried.

On second the left are trying to compare improvements in batteries using the blind assumption of politics that chargeable batteries are always better than liquid fuel or hydrogen etc.

Blind politics is assured to provide bad outcomes always because it strives to eliminate debate and free speech and individual research. The left is essentially group political think and hates individual independent thinking. It's why leftists always end up with Biden type cabinets, and incompetent Kamala Harris types at at the helm as national failure is the outcome.

The entire platform is nothing but identity politics and grievance complexes.

And Robson tries to turn this interesting thread into an anti-Biden screed on...identity politics.

F&^% off, idiot. If somehow MAGA all disappeared tomorrow, the world would be immeasuably better off.

"If somehow MAGA all disappeared tomorrow, the world would be immeasuably better off.

And that's the problem and why America needs to amicably split now before it becomes violent. What your version of "better off" is doesn't match all 330 million other people's version of "better off". For example, with liberals creating Newspeak and having government-run or -funded institutions bringing some kind of legal charges against those who don't use it, that version of "better off" does not match many others who feel free speech is free speech. I'm not saying your version is better or worse than anyone else's. I'm saying the fact that people like you feel that your version is the only direction we should go and never compromising is what has ruined America's ability to progress. We are so busy fighting the same issues that were around 5 decades ago when I was a kid, and then we keep adding more and more. So, we aren't fixing anything and more things are being added, all because we can't just find middle ground and move on. No government can run that way and positively grow.
