I agree with the end statement. We should be doing anything we can to reduce fossil fuels.
We need to think beyond lithium for grid storage. Lithium is great where space is limited as in a house or something similar. There will be multiple technologies that will provide storage on the grid.
I think the bigger problem for nuclear is reaction time. You need plants that can react quickly to compliment renewables. Storage is handling a lot of this but I don't know if nuclear could. It is my understanding that base load isn't really a thing.
Nuclear is cool. Has its pros and cons. I don't know if we should be pushing it so hard. It's too expensive, takes too long to build, and the decommissioning of a plant takes decades. I just don't see the future for it.
We aren't waiting for storage breakthroughs though. The current technology is good enough, cheap enough, and faster to build. And meeting the reaction times needed to use renewables correctly.
Base load isn't really a thing. This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn't an understanding of the issue. Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.
I watched these too. But I didn't walk away with the same conclusion. I walked away with the economy is headed in the right direction. And they know people are struggling. Which is arguably true. Inflation was reducing and wages were going up. That's been happening for the last two years.
This is just incorrect. Lol. While I agree with the ending. EV aren't the solution to climate change. EVs are a lot cleaner than ICE and use less energy.
I just went on a (2) 650 mile trip in my EV. It was fine. Took about 40 minutes longer than a gas vehicle. My car is an 800V vehicle with a great charging curve. Peaks at 240 KW and keep that high power for a lot of the curve.
You have to plan the trip out more because you don't have a charger on every corner. Plugshare and ABRP help a lot. I had one issue with one charger. All others were plug and play. I wish we could move away from needing an app to charge.
"Their refusal is rooted in fear that Israel wants to force a permanent expulsion of Palestinians into their countries and nullify Palestinian demands for statehood"
This line in the article is important to remember.
I don't think you understand freedom of speech.
Here we go again.

I think you meant 270kWH instead of 270WH.
This is why I bought an EV with mechanical doors.

Plus one for Ioniq 5. It is a great car.
