There are definitely many power hungry and disingenuous politicians. Probably the vast majority. BUT hating politicians as a rule is just antidemocratic cynicism IMO. An excuse to not pay attention, to not hold politicians accountable, and to not want to compromise under any circumstance.
Of course, it was also states rights to force other states to enforce their laws - by which I mean, kidnap and return former slaves back to slavery.
This is just a shallow, cynical, anti-intellectual remark.
Sodium ion batteries are already hitting production.
Iron flow and vanadium redox batteries also already exist in the real world.
Grid and residential battery installations are happening at a rapidly accelerating pace.
Lithium ion battery prices have dropped something like 90% over the last 15 years.
Battery technology is improving at dramatic rate, both lithium ion and non lithium ion solutions.
That basically describes the CEO I believe.
There are also studies showing certain plants do well too. Also ignoring that a truly massive amount of cropland is being used for ethanol, which is a much less efficient form of energy than solar.
I mean, its fine - but it just isn’t overly meaningful for how we make decisions as individuals. But to design a scenario where we would absolutely see an effect is valuable to see if we should invest more money into larger studies.
Which also occurs in albums as well. There are plenty of filler music in almost every album ever made. If anything, streaming disincentivizes filler tracks - each track has to compete for attention. Though, in practice this is going to depend on recommendation and discovery algorithms.
