Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles

Yea that again, doesn’t negate what I’ve stated. Tiny increments throughout a technologies life is great, just like ICE vehicles, but it’s tech from the 70s and we need the next leap forward.

Fusion power is based on the aeolipile and work by Marie Curie. Just because you don’t see the all the incremental steps connecting those devices doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

  That’s like saying the wheel was invented thousands of years ago…you know what I’m talking about and are just being pedantic about it.

    If I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
    
    Once upon a time, that giant invented the wheel.

  Fusion power ain’t there yet though, bad example?

    Fusion power isn’t commercially practical. We could make a working fusion plant right now. It would suck and provide almost no power, but we could make one. And the difference between the one we can make today that barely works and isn’t useful and one that would be useful will be some number of additional incremental steps between where we are today and when that would work. Which is exactly the point. And your attitude of, well we aren’t using it today, so nothing has actually been done, is what I’m criticizing, so thanks for making the point even more obvious.

    Wow, that’s not my attitude at all, I said ‘not there yet’, I’m sorry you can’t read bro
