All capitalists know that even Adam Smith was a proponent of big government, never in favor of a 'republic.'
The 'scale' of some problems exceed the reach of even the largest multi-national joint-stock corporations, leaving 'government' to 'fix' the problem.
Edison Motors 'product' may not represent a 'solution' to 'problems' currently experienced by automotive consumers.
If so, why 'give' them anything.

Youtube wanted me to watch this year-old story:

What if Carbon Dioxide is the ANSWER NOT The Problem?

It's not just plant food anymore.

I'm less inclined to watch 2-bit episodes compared to something like Smarter Everyday, or Veritasium, or Vsause, as it usually has an entertaining element, but not so much learning opportunity.

I've been watching www.youtube.com/@AdamSomething. Everything from why it's stupid to build skyscrapers in the desert (without sewers) to rusty Cybertrucks.

edit: Also www.youtube.com/@WhatifAltHist. Rudyard Lynch is a 22 year old bibliophile.

Wave power is Solar energy.

How This Buoy Just Unlocked Unlimited Wave Energy

It's an interesting approach, using a compressed air spring to double the efficiency; and a side benefit is you can modulate the pressure to counter storm conditions.

T'would be nice if an internal overpressure in the buoy could keep all those shiny stainless steel sliding parts dry.
