The only thing holding back a renewable revolution is politics.
Solar cells are cheap, and once installed, harvest free energy for decades with little maintenance. Battery technology is ready for solar on the grid too. Batteries based on sodium are available now. But even the lithium batteries are fantastic. Sure, batteries mean resource extraction and everything that comes with that, but what we extract is being made into durable goods that can be used over and over for decades, then recycled. Fossil fuels are perpetual resource extraction because the product is burned and destroyed.
One day, the number one source of lithium batteries will be old lithium batteries. This is already true with lead-acid car batteries.
Technology Connections Youtube channel just released a video that is the source for my comments. Bonus, the heat-pump guy get’s ‘mad as hell’ toward the end.
















During the active phase of their genocide, Israel got big mad at DWB. You may remember the reports. Doctors who had just come from places like Syria saw an unusual number of small children with single gunshot wounds to the head and torso.
So doctors with experience in war, experience treating ‘collateral damage’, were saying that you’d expect more shrapnel wounds, or for bullet wounds to be randomly distributed on the bodies of non-targeted wounded children.
Zionists denounced this reporting as antisemitic “blood libel”. Noting the long history of Jews being accused of child-murder. Which might be a good point if these accusations were not evidence based observations from reliable and respectable people. Or if IDF soldiers and Israeli colonists were not already credibly implicated in numerous war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
