New way to double the life of lithium ion batteries found.

Batteries can be charged not with a constant charge, but a "pulsed" charge slows anode change.

Cars and smartphones whose batteries last twice as long?

Wind power cost has declined by 1/2. Solar power costs have fallen 90% in ten years

"Solar and battery storage prices have dropped almost 90% in 10 years"

Oil fools ARE RAISING PRICES while trying to kill us.

BUILD ALL THE SUN.

Build all the wind.

RIGHT redacted NOW

ASTOUNDING FALL IN THE COST OF SOLAR.

At the same time carbon fuels BURNED 30 BILLION TREES IN 🇨🇦 in one Climate Forest Fire Catastrophe.

More trees and acres, than 3 CENTURIES of logging.
All burned, one year.

And now its coming back.

Trudeau IS BUILDING a MASSIVE EXPANSION of oil infrastructure, spending $35 BILLION to get Canada's filthy oil burned, AS FAST AS HE CAN.

Trudeau must RESIGN, so the Liberal Party CAN END THE PIPELINE OF DEATH, and choose ANY OTHER LEADER.

Trudeau must resign.

30 Billion Trees/

Thirty Billion Trees.

Thirty billion trees burned into their roots. Because the SOIL is dry.
Because Carbon fuels cause global warming.

Buying EVERY CANADIAN FREE WIND POWER WOULD COST LESS.

@kevinrns Definitely build all the wind and solar, but in preparation for the eventual takeover of nuclear and Fusion energy sources in the next few centuries.
@LeonianUniverse @kevinrns Fast change need fossils, slower makes possible do otherway
@RealFinoxy @kevinrns Fossils will run out eventually and then no power for all unless we have wind and solar.
@LeonianUniverse @kevinrns That is long shitty way to go to run out all fossils.

@RealFinoxy @LeonianUniverse

CO2 will kill your kid. All the kids.

The Nuke God died. So many hopes, so much radiation.

Does everyone know that Fukushima Nuclear Reactor fthat Blew Up and began melting down is STILL MELTING DOWN, is STILL GETTING WORSE, and is increasing, increasing its radiation leaking.

Water that is still beuing used to try and cool the ongoing meltdown, has accumulated so much that they say they have to release it into the ocean.

Nearby countries are VERY ANGRY.

Conditions inside Fukushima’s melted nuclear reactors still unclear 13 years after disaster struck

As Japan observes 13 years since a massive earthquake and tsunami hit the country’s northern coasts, the AP explains what is happening now at the Fukushima nuclear power plant and in neighboring areas

@kevinrns yes, it is definitely bad, but we don't have other long-term alternatives at the moment as good as Nuclear that will last thousands of years, and Fusion isn't alive yet.

@LeonianUniverse

lol, no

no nukes inside the life envelope,

you can have one on the moon, but not in the atmosphere

@kevinrns are you meaning lithium metal batteries? Perhaps my Google-fu is weak

@cykonot

I have not found, sorry, Im an idiot, the link I should have included, but this appears to cover the subject while I look.

Here it is.

@kevinrns no worries! I saw some interesting research talking about using pulsed charging to make lithium metal batteries with potentially 10X + greater density than lithium ion.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-37476-y

The article you link seems to be about increasing lithium-ion battery lifespans, which is extremely important but slightly different. Still interesting though!

Edit: I was confused as "life" can mean a few things, and i thought we'd been doing the charge thing mentioned

@cykonot

Thank you for these links and facts about the improvement of batteries and lithium metal.

The improvements are exciting, very exciting.

MIT has a desalination system that uses no more power than sitting it in the sun. Produces salt-free water a cheap as tap water.

Economics doesnt have a word for need.
