    You… You think a battery is a magic physics defying substance?

    I mean, I don’t see capitalism beeing a way to solve the climate crisis and do belive that degrowth is going to happen (by design or desaster), but the success of renewable energy is very much a capitalism success story.

      Clearly they only think bigger, better batteries are magic and physics defying. The batteries we have now are the best batteries that physics allows for, and they can’t be made more or bigger because… We already used up all the stuff for them. Yeah, that tracks.

        The classic capitalist solution “make it bigger, make more of it, there are absolutely zero limits.”

        Quick question, how big would a battery have to be to power a single city of >1000000 for a single day, show your work.
