David Both breaks down why today’s AI isn’t intelligent—it’s just complex code without ethics or creativity. Plus, a look at sodium ion batteries as the future of energy.

One thing people seem to forget when assessing Na-ion Vs Li-ion is operating temperatures. While LFP may still be cheaper (due to existing scale) BESS applications using Na-ion can run with passive cooling.
This significantly reduces balance-of-system costs and massively reduces opex over the system's life.
So I expect to see Na-ion make big inroads into BESS starting in 2026/27.
It seems CATL is continuing its revolution of the Sodium Ion battery industry.

Technologies like #SodiumIon chemistry are promising in that they are inherently safer, cheaper, and more sustainable, but because of their significantly lower power density, they are best suited to larger scale and fixed installation applications, rather than portable applications.
That is not to say that #NaIon #batteries cannot be successfully used in many portable applications, despite being larger/heavier for an equivalent capacity.
I often criticize portable devices for being too thin.
Unigrid Inc., a San Diego-based battery technology leader, has introduced a game-changing sodium-ion 12V starter battery designed to replace traditional lead-acid units in vehicles and machinery. This innovative solution, branded as Na⁺ Fleet, leverages sodium-chromium-oxide (NaCrO₂) cells to provide a safer, lighter, and more durable alternative to conventional lead-acid batteries. Significant Advantages Over Lead-Acid Batteries […]
CATL announces official staging of their large Sodium Ion battery upgrade, making any larger LFP investments more of a question...
I've been hearing a lot of buzz about sodium ion batteries, but not a lot of detail. So when I went hunting for a link for a friend, I just found stuff like this:
CATL launches 5th-gen LFP batteries with higher density, longer life https://interestingengineering.com/energy/catls-5th-gen-sodium-ion-battery
I'm sure there's better information out there, but here what I've got for now.
