    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that came as no surprised. Trump did not expect that most of the world welcome his win and Trump wants to show that we won bigly. Just look at his entourage: only billionaires are invited onto the podium. Mandy can bend and is easily replaced if necessary when the time comes. Soon enough...

    it was possibly me. I was proven wrong. He's still wrong to pick on his neighbours to start a tariff war though. He said America has been ripped off but that's not true. The USA government run a budget deficit for so long that private savings are no longer enough to make up for the shortfall...

    Yes, overall. Still not enough to cancel winter. About the kerching, petrol and gas companies have been cashing in for a very long time. It is now on the decline. If you go over to the middle east now, you'll see the scale of their investments in solar and wind, second only to China, for when...

    No and no. The jet had priority, the helicopter pilot confirmed taking responsibility for visual separation. Are you saying that the helo was piloted by ai or the helicopter pilot does not understand English? Edit...

    Battery Fires

    It's good that they are not obsessed with people using the throttle. E-bikes are about the best and safest form of simple, non polluting cheap transports.

    Battery Fires

    LiFePO4 has lower self heating rate compared to NMC but that's not enough to prevent thermal runaway and still suffers from oxygen evolution due to humidity and SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) deposition on the anode. Most of the current efforts go on to large EV and storage batteries, we...

    Trump blamed the FAA for the accident at DCA, more precisely FAA's DEI hire policy. I watched a couple of reconstructions, both with the recording between traffic controller and the two pilots. It was an accident. I could not see how trump could blame the ATC or it has anything to do with DEI.

    Did you find out how much fluorine is in your battery? Tiny amount. Would you ban toothpaste too?

    If the Arctic conveyor belt (MOC) stops in the next 25 years then the uk could be up to 5 Celsius colder. The chance of that happening is tiny though.

    Battery Fires

    Matured technology TVs, PCs and laptops don't set fire to your homes, chargers and air fryers aren't as safe. See 122 battery chargers, 103% increase, 305 fryers, 30% increase.

    Battery Fires

    I tentatively agree with you but there is a fundamental difference in maturity of the products.we don't expect our wiring to burst into flames even if we accidentally drill into it. I have highlighted many times the risks of battery fires. The root of the problem is in the immature technology...

    It's a bit of hysteria there. LFP batteries contain some fluorite but the amount of HF released is not particularly large in comparison to all the other substances in the smokes and flames. Large fires are dangerous but do you know how many people got hurt in that fire? Most people around the...

    Batteries are still too expensive at the moment but even so, 9.4 GW of new capacity have been installed in the USA in 2024, 71GW worldwide. It is expected that battery price will continue to drop 10% a year, new installations double every year. In a generation, the grid will be pan-european...
