This has nothing to do with grammar.

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.

Even with 120v the kettle is still faster. Pot on the stove has a wild amount of waste heat. Perhaps excepting an induction stovetop.

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.

That isn't really the question.

Emails are abysmal by any privacy or security standard.

Why do you assume economies of scale don't work on sodium ion batteries? We are just launching the first commercial products, which indeed is a hard time for new technology and sodium does need to pass the hurdle of "get to scale", but sodium has the potential to be dirt cheap once fully scaled and realized.

Overreach? I don't understand why this feature has incensed you.

Its time for the Democrat party to fall to the wayside - the people and organization itself is unsalvageable and does not represent the people they claim to represent. This was abundantly clear with the reactions to Mandani - immediate distancing from really standard policies and positions because he wasn't part of the "in" crowd.

They don't care about wealth inequality, social welfare policies, gender, sexual orientation race, and religious equality, or any other baseline remotely progressive, left, or even liberal policy.

Its just "Ukraine". Its a sovereign nation, that is its name.
