The problem is the same whether the batteries are used for cars, storage for solar, or storage for unreliable electric grid. But "solar" in the article title gets more clicks.

According to the linked report, the problem is that a great deal of the battery recycling is done by back-yard/garage operations that lose up to half of the lead into the environment. So the government needs to get involved somehow, stop the unregulated small operator recycling, and also do something about the other sources such as lead paint. Tragedy of the commons and that sort of thing. This is very much like the USA before the EPA was created in the 1970's, thank you President Nixon.

Never attribute to idiocy that which is best explained by being a propaganda bot

I also wondered if Eadon-com was mocking the standard ant-whatever diatribe people.
Then I looked at his posting history which includes his calling us "brain-washed wankers". That's not true. I know why I'm a wanker.

My observation is that the population groups are different between young and old workers.

It's not that individual older workers are more productive in any way, but rather that the young cohort contains all the people who will become drunks, drug users, who bring their sex problems to works, who steal and so on.
The young people who are not fucked up are often amazing, but the worthless ones cause more problems and bring others down, so on the average productivity is damaged.
The worthless old ones who have jobs have mastered the art of invisibility, so less often screw things up because they don't do anything. Nor do they spend time inflicting their personal problems/neuroses on others, or perhaps they are easier to rebuff.
FWIW, I'm past the 3/4 century mark. That's my credential.

There is good reason to not let him go to a security conference if he doesn't understand what ChatGPT does with a conversation.
Note that CISA subjected their own director to a lie detector test and he failed, so they got rid of the employees.
