New type of battery could outlast EVs and still be used for grid energy storage

7. There is theory; there is wishful tinking; there are e perimental results.

I have no doubt, none whatsoever, that the experimental results are in; the planetary atmosphere is collapsing.

The theory, widely held, that throwing trillions upon trillions of dollars at solar and wind energy will have any effect other than accelerating the degradation of the atmosphere, has been subject to experiment. The results are in. Are we living in happy land, the oft predicted but never realized so called "renewable energy" nirvana or are we burning more fossil fuels than ever?

Anyone claiming that they are aware of the solution and that it is to continue a failed experiment of scattered "solutions" is in my view incompetent to offer anything at all in any reasonable approach to addressing reality.

The data after all is clear. One would have to be in some kind of cult to hold on to doing the same thing over and over when it clearly doesn't work.

This is particularly true of anyone who cannot grasp, even for a New York second, the difference between primary energy and thermodynamically degraded stored energy.

If one cannot understand that storing energy wastes energy, especially given that almost all of the primary energy now used by humanity comes from fossil fuels, one is active in making things worse, not better. The laws of thermodynamics are not subject to happy face chants.

Every single reference to energy storage when almost all energy that is not nuclear energy is dirty, is just fossil fuel apologetics and greenwashing.
