Vanadium can be found both in Aotearoa;
... and Australia;

Obviously we don't want the mining done by the profit-obsessed corporatist sociopaths whose ecocidal views are represented in these articles. But if we can find environmentally sensitive ways to obtain this mineral, for use in grid-scale flow batteries, this could make a significant contribution to our energy independence.
If you enjoy learning about renewable energy tech, I highly recommend this 9 minute PBS video. Introducing the concept of 'flow batteries', and exploring their potential use in large-scale energy storage. It explains why using Vanadium could make safer, easily recyclable, and much cheaper grid-scale batteries;
#HatTip to @deutrino for introducing me to this tech and supplying the link.
@simondueckert Die Artikelserie von @kuketzblog half mir.

Es wurde #LibreWolf. Mobil #Vanadium auf #GrapheneOS.
Ist auch vermutlich eine gute Wahl aus #privacy & #security-Perspektive.
Allerdings gibt's bei LibreWolf das Problem, dass fast alle Zeitangaben nur noch in #UTC dargestellt werden. Besonders lästig bei Chats, Version Control Systems, Kalender, ... im Browser. Könnte man auch disablen aber offenbar nur als größeres Paket von an sich sinnvollen Anti-Tracking-Maßnahmen.
Diverse Workarounds haben bei mir bislang nicht funktioniert.
Meine Lösung aktuell: für diese Seiten, wo mir Zeitangaben wichtig sind, habe ich #Firefox (mit diversen Privacy-add-ons).
Das Wichtigste ist ohnehin in jedem #Browser #NoScript.

Latest follow-up podcast is out! YouTube: https://youtu.be/XoHn9-42DI8 Audio version: https://share.transistor.fm/s/906761f9 On today’s episode Matt & Sean are talking about flow batteries and how this old tech is finally starting to take off. But does it actually have a shot?
🖼️ Выява дня: Крышталічная структура ванадыю.
Why are Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries bursting into the bigtime now?

Do you think we’ll see more VRFB's in the US and elsewhere?
