They said the same about oil. Remember all those stories about oil running out?
What happened? As prices rice, new extraction techniques become viable, oil production didn't stop.
Worthy of note: Lithium can be recycled, oil can't.
I've spent about 20 years telling people to stop guzzling gas.
All I've been met with is insults from people in huge pickups on their way to eat 20oz steaks.
50% of America would rather believe Donald Trump than people with measuring instruments who know math.
So yeah, fuck you.
Can this new tech be used to cure his MAGAs?
...it's not as if you're getting nothing in return, eg. MUCH cheaper running and maintenance costs, ability to do most charging at home, etc.
The current state of affairs is NOT sustainable. Fossil fuels need to be phased out.

Personally, I think vaping will increase life expectancy. Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, so fewer obesity-related deaths. And it seems to delay the onset of dementia.
Yeah, but do they have to be single use?
Have you seen the amount of used vapes lying around the floor these days?
(yeah, we know, you pick them up for the LiPo betteries inside...)
Douglas Adams observed it back in the 1980s.
FWIW I'm MUCH more impressed by (eg.) Super Mario speed runs where players have to play for five minutes to exact 60Hz timing.
Does anybody seriously believe Billy Mitchell can't play Donkey Kong to that level?
New, smarter, ad-blockers will be released in the next few hours...
