pull from aeync's link.
from US manufactures and engineers in the near future. I have spent $3000 is US dollars in the last year on batteries.(that's capital)
with the introduction of EV cars I would expect to see a number of new auto manufactures started, each of which supports
a large number of smaller businesses. textbook capitalist system
aeync, as you can see from svetz's last post green energy is a good fit for a capitalist system, would like to see more

You have to do more research.

"Green" Energy Is a Scam. It Isn't MEANT to Work.
by James Corbett corbettreport.com September 24, 2022 Good news, everybody! A new report from the eggheads at Oxford University assures us that switching to renewables will actually save us trillions of dollars! You heard that right. It won't cost us trillions of dollars to build out a...

(PS: Most batteries are made in China or are sourced from China)
PPS: Most of the stuff Svetz posts on "new battery tech" is complete pipe dream, still in research/development phase/not commercially viable. In other words its "flying cars" and "mr. fusion" that are just around the corner right TommySr?
PPPS. Na+ batteries have terrible energy density. They are not applicable for EVs and there are still many problems that need to be solved. Nothing can replace Lithuim for now, and Lithium has all the problems we have been talking about for a long time
Disruption or hype: Are sodium-ion batteries catching up and replacing lithium-ion ones in EV?
In recent years, the popularity of sodium-ion batteries has suddenly risen. Chinese companies such as Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), Gotion Hi-Tech, EVE Energy and BYD are all engaging in researching sodium-ion batteries. CATL is even about to put them into mass production. Here are...

What are the main challenges for sodium-ion batteries
In the long run, there will be no shortage of lithium minerals, but it will still have a great impact on the industrial chain. Therefore, a response is needed.

aenyc, that's on us, but I got them form a US importer who made money so they can eat
, the driver of the truck that got them to me made money to pay his rent, the list goes on.
capitalism at work for a large number of people here in the US even thou they got made
someplace else.
PS: I'm a glass half full kind of person
aenyc, that is what excites me the most, new innovations (which is sweet IMO).
yet.
when I was 10 I wanted to be an inverter when I grow up, and today not all of my ideas are commercially viable
but some turned out to be, I found niche markets easiest to get a foot into. like paper converting industry and
Lapping industry are two niche markets that are still growing here in the US
you are talking to the wrong person, I just got rid of my old tech batteries(flooded lead acid), and love the
energy density I get from the new tech lifeP04 batteries. day and night difference between them.
just waiting for the next advancement in battery tech, hope it come from here in the US.

It does not matter if you think its half full or half empty once you realize that there is piss in your glass.
Sorry mate
PS. I am still waiting on Mr Fusion too. Exciting tech man!!! And i want my flying car! Svetz keeps telling me its just around the corner (powered by electric unicorn fartz)

aenyc, you may want to try hanggliding, I know people that can go hundreds of miles(most I ever got was 60 miles)
with just using solar energy(thermals) . can't get more efficient then that.
I hope I know better then to let myself think that way, nothing good could come from it (IMO).
I ended up in a stroke unit in a hospital one time, I can see how a person could come to that conclusion(piss in your glass).
but for the grace of god go I
but I did get grounded from hanggliding

What does THAT have to do with batteries or EVs?

aenyc, could be the next big advancement, put a big spool of cable on the shaft of a generator
attach a real big kite to the cable and put the kite in a thermal, I've seen over 1500ft per minutes climbs
from thermals, and have gone up to 10000ft.
just think of all the energy you could get from the jet stream
aenyc, keep your eyes, ears and mind open.

You can find my Synopsis here on MP3. Yes, there are lots of other plans... finding one not controversial might be a challenge ; -)
- MRSC - Comprehensive Planning & MRSC - Climate Action Plans
- Planning for Climate Change Adaptation | US EPA
- United States - The Long-Term Strategy of the United States
- China
Hopefully not too much longer until someone hooks something like the Jetson (a flying EV you can buy today) up with a kite or electric paraglider or dirigible (Natural or turquoise hydrogen) for lift-assist to get 1000 miles per charge. Next we just need to make them tow vehicles ; -) Oh, and full self flying/landing (no one will see you flip it off autopilot ;- ) |

svetz, I get it
IMO we are still closer to the Flintstones then the jetson because of our collective closed mind.

In other words you guys are experts in demagogy and non-existing pipe dream "maybe/maybenot" future (?) projects.
How about Zero Point Energy or Dilithium Crystals guys?
Meanwhile your pink crystal dreams are smashed against the cold hard iron ass of reality.

annyc, not yet. the dream is still there. stronger today then even 20 years ago IMO.
all innovations are "maybe/maybenot" until they are part of our future.
innovations are one of them use it or lose it kind of things, but I do understand how
some may find comfort in the past, what they see as a more simpler time, easier to
understand, but to reach our goal staying in our comfort zone is not in our best interest (IMO).
lucky for us we currently have a whole world looking at these projects.
looking back may not get you where you need to go.

Aenyc. . Dont you know that all energy for ev's come directly from jelly bean fields and kyber crystals? Dang bro!.. are you kidding me??...dilithium crystals? You crack me up bro!

$75 billion in damage from one hurricane, and little of it in Florida. Didn't realize how much they affect the rest of the country.

Good video, but Eve's batteries are already 67 dollars per kWh on their Alibaba outlet and I am guessing that container loads can be had for far less. 100kWh in storage that would last an average American household about 3 days and an average European household a week would cost about 10,000 US$ in storage. We seeing a continuing reduction in solar panel prices and other parts as well. I don't see fossil fuels competing in a free market economy in the long run especially if we add the external costs of pollution.
I am not against carbon capture, providing the carbon is stored properly as fracking has made me nervous, the carbon would have to be taken from the air as well as other sources. I do believe the free market (with guidelines) is capable of resolving this problem. This can be done through carbon taxes, or better still, give the fossil fuel companies the responsibility to remove every kg of carbon that they take out of the ground that ends up in the atmosphere, from the atmosphere. We would have to audit each company and country, but that could all be done if we wanted to. Again I don't see how fossil fuels can compete.
An observation and a question... I recently read that in the US religiosity plays a large part in the acceptance and rejection of climate science, even though the Christian bible says that the god gave humans stewardship of the earth. Younger republicans do tend to accept the concept of man made global warming as well which could be explained by younger people leaving the religions, don't know how true this is as I don't live in the US, but it does seem plausible.
I am an atheist myself, religion seems alien to me, it left me with many questions that could not be answers and I was lucky enough to be raised in a environment that encouraged me to ask questions, but I am not against personal believes and I do encourage people to be good stewards of the earth, nature, environment or whatever people want to call it.
House burned down
So, after 4 to 5 years of working flawless, the 100 kwh lifepo4 battery caught fire at night and burned our house down. Luckily our family just made in out on time. Inspection of the fire expert revealed that a melt fuse melted, and created an arc between the 2 points wich ultimatly started the...
