Sure - #oil #price will spike and #poor #buyers will switch to #EV #batteries #solar and global demand will fall. But demand for #US #oil #gas goes up and equally importantly #market share goes up - i.e. more price control of the global market and more leverage - Done!
Why does #WallStreet stay happy? Because of growth in a well-established sectors such as #oil #gas #defence - which brings in $ and keeps it strong.

A Q worth pondering is “why should #US #oil companies and #WallStreet not want the #war in the #MiddleEast to continue in a way that there are no #US boots-on-the-ground and the #MiddleEast #oil #gas #infrastructure continues to be steadily destroyed?”
With the rapid growth of #China #EV #batteries #solar #manufacturing capacity, the future of #global #oil #demand is not exactly that of rapid growth. More likely, decline is imminent.
Looks like safe (no thermal runaway) and performant sodium-ion batteries are finally on the way.
https://techxplore.com/news/2026-04-safer-sodium-battery-thermal-runaway.html
"The electrolyte experienced no thermal runaway, even at 300°C (572°F) or after nail-penetration tests."
Some batteries have been known to catch fire or explode at high temperatures or when under stress. This safety concern has pushed researchers to experiment with different ways to design safer batteries that can ideally still perform reliably and efficiently. Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are considered a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries, but still face safety risks, especially at high capacities. But now, a team of researchers in China has designed a new type of electrolyte for NIBs that may eliminate these risks, allowing for stable performance across a wide temperature range.
🧵 4/n i'm not quite sure why those are called SEALED lead-acid #SLA #batteries. A silicone-rubber bung doesn't seem like much of a SEAL. AGM tech, i guess - Absorbent Glass Mat. Edit: "sealed", as in non-spillable, i guess.
Yeah, i'm currently evaluating the "add distilled water" method - 2.5ml per cell (6 cells make a 12V battery). Preliminary results in pic2/pic3. 👀 IMG ALT TXT

Pancakes, maple syrup, marmalades, salmons, blueberry and jams, and honey... Oh hello there! I'm just doing my own stuff here. Don't mind me ! Before you leave, I just wanna say, I use Arch, btw :p Yeah I don't follow conventional youtubers' way of making videos. I make videos bout funny and/or awesome stuffs, something I'll watch in the future or broadcast myself playing games or some computer things. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't care whether you like, share or subscribe. Decide for yourself what you wanna do with your life. I'm just a really lazy bear having fun.
