It’s still roughly half of the NMC. I wonder what’s the charging speed.
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 5 days ago:
Yep
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 5 days ago:
The price 🤯👀
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 5 days ago:
It’s unlikely you will see a car powered by those in near future if ever as they have relatively low density. But you’ll definitely see those as home battery and such where size/density doesn’t matter that much. And I bet it’s less inflammable as well.

I don’t think there are plenty of dogfights in this era. Airplanes are mostly used for dropping bombs and rockets against ground targets from a safe distance and shooting down cruise missiles and drones.

Kudos to you to see through them.
- Comment on Israeli guards stripped and filmed Thunberg naked, wrote 'whore' on her luggage 1 week ago:
Israel wasn’t really much different at any point in time. The only difference is that now they are doing it on a bigger scale.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 1 week ago:
Somehow I’m not surprised. They simply don’t care, it seems.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, I have no idea, but I see there is a trial option, so I’d say yes to former at least.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 2 weeks ago:
My biggest grip with Tidal is that their catalogue is a mess - albums from same named artists grouped together.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 2 weeks ago:
Try Tidal. At least it pays artists more and has better sound quality. Allegedly. The downside is that their catalogue is more messed up like albums from different same named artists grouped together.

There are some (many is really a stretch) but not available in many countries nor supported by many merchants.

We need Digital Euro yesterday.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
You have some valid points. Yes, economical aspect is crap, countries should push laws demanding that producers guarantee recycling and/or state clear lifecycle of the battery (actually it should be applied to all products). Even still, there are companies that do recycle batteries for profit, so it’s not that absurd. But you miss the whole other aspect with different chemistries, many even harmless to the environment. You are focused only on current li-ion it seems which are not very network storage friendly anyway.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
I think you are wrong then. First, even Li-ion batteries are recyclable to a huge amount, usually the problem is that different manufacturers pack them differently without any blueprint and then it’s much harder to recycle them. Then there are a ton of different chemistries with ones really harmless (i.e. using sodium instead of lithium) but they come with less energy density. Which isn’t that important when it comes to energy storage for the network purpose but it’s important when it comes to cars and portable electronic devices. Also different chemistries have different lifetime, i.e. LFP batteries have better durability and are less fire prone than the standard li-ion.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but even then we don’t have a solution today. It’s all in the fuzzy future.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
Where do you have TWhs of batteries? As you said, both quantity and capacity matters, when lower capacity you need bigger battery which is harder to put somewhere.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
Are you taking about batteries?
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s a step in correct direction, but can you guarantee that everybody can be powered 24/7 through renewables/batteries, specially during winter? Unless that’s the case you still need a shit-ton of non-renewable energy that’s coming either from fossil fuels or nuclear. And if you want to avoid (co2) emissions, then you need nuclear to cover everybody, and if you have nuclear then it has to run 100% 24/7. OTOH if you don’t have nuclear, you’ll emit all sort or crap during those periods. And so on. Also, it’s not just that batteries are sort of expensive, they are big. Also you are talking houses, but masses live in apartments where placing solar panels or batteries isn’t possible (at least in quantity).
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:
What batteries exactly? The capacity required is huge.

Sure, bandcamp is a very good option to buy albums. But that doesn’t give one the right to pirate.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
I’m sure they are on Spotify (which is shitty anyway) and other streaming services by choice. And if you are against streaming services, feel free to buy their albums.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Even if that was ok, I’m sure people who pirate buy a ton of merch from all the artists they pirate, that’s why all those artists get a ton of money.

No, it’s not. Even more so if you like your artists.
