Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World
Atomic@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoThere’s this really neat thing called nuclear reactors that produce an enormous amount of energy. It’s only been around for ~70 years but they look promising.

Right. And how many countries currently use or are planning to use this In a large scale capacity besides France? Oh yea.
No need to be a dickhead.
RamRabbit@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Works pretty damn well for France. Maybe we should follow their lead.
jof@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I wholeheartedly agree with that. Doesn’t seem like anyone is though unfortunately.

There was even a car that charged itself with solar, they only ran out of money because there was little interest for an unknown new brand

The cars with solar panels on them are a gimmick. There isn’t enough surface area on a normal car to meaningfully charge the battery.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I think you would be surprised. The problem really comes from the car not being a good shape to put solar panels on. I did the math a while back, and I only needed 200w of panels to cover my weekly driving.

There was never a car that charged itself with solar because it’s practically impossible unless you put the car on a turntable at the equator in July.

But they can’t work at night!
