  • fuels cells don’t and can never be made to work unless they invalidate the laws of nature somehow

    electrified public transport and cycling / escooter and walking are the only solutions

    ecars provide us paranoid few with a degree of energy resilience while civilisation continue to collapse but are in no way environmentally sustainable or green, the IPCC has fir devades said we need to move away from all cars.

    as an aside lots of chinese cars (I have one, i cycle as much as I can but here in Australia we’re car brained fools and it’s hard to live in rural areas sans cars, it was easy when we lived in the city) The chinese ecars often use LFP batteries and don’t need the cobalt used in NMC batteries. Still a shit load of other stuff like 100- 120kg of Cu for the wiring harness and toones of fossil fuels needed for the plastics etc etc

    The silicon carbon battery in my Motorola phone is good, they may be useful, solid state has issues over vibration that engineering may overcome.

    None of that matters as were to far along to change course let alone reveres, inevitably well cross too many topping points in the next decade or two and the collapse of civilization will be set in stone.






  • One hit a week on a ship in the Hormuz is enough to win.

    that Strait’s not opening again until Iran says so, and I suspect even then only to shipping they allow. One dude launching a drone off the back of a light truck, or a sea drone that pops out of a hidden cave near sea level is all thats needed.

    On the flip side, get an ecar or ebike, some solar panels and vote for politicians who support electrified PT, beat tone for that was 10 years ago, second best time is now.
