Quote:
New submitter symgym writes:Recently out of stealth mode is a new battery technology that's printed on silicon wafers (36 million "micro-batteries" machined into 12-inch silicon wafers). It can scale from small devices to large-scale grid storage and promises four times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries for half the price. There should also be no issues with fires caused by dendrite formation.....
Hallquist also notes that the new batteries are 100% recyclable. "At the end of the life of this product, you bring the wafers back in, you clean the wafer off, you reclaim the lithium and other materials. And it's essentially brand new. So we're 100 percent recyclable." "Hallquist says the battery banks that Cross Border Power plans to sell to utility companies as soon as next year will be installed in standard computer server racks," reports IEEE Spectrum. "One shipping container worth of those racks (totaling 40 racks in all) will offer 4 megawatts (MW) of battery storage capacity, she says. Contrast this, she adds, to a comparable set of rack-storage lithium ion batteries which would typically only yield 1 MW in a shipping container."

What We Can Learn From Cicero
Quote:
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century
.—believing that personal gain is made by crushing others
.—worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected
.—insisting that the thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it
.—refusing to set aside trivial preferences
.—neglecting development and refinement of the mind
.—and finally attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do

I've watched the rest. When you wonder how he can rant that fast without spitting, be aware it's all scripted and read out.

redpoint5 — I just saw your post. Black Mirror is behind a paywall for me, but I remember Dr. Skinner's pigeons.
