I simply don't like that this a not highly negative article is from one of the worst FUDster out there. She is the worst. She would stoop to blatant lying and would focus on irrelevant stuff as long as it is negative. Almost on par with another scumbag, Russ Mitchell.
All the AMC discussion ignores the basic fact. Almost every AMC brand failed before AMC. The 1970 acquisition of Jeep from Kaiser (itself abortive founder of Kaiser, Frazer and Henry J) ended out being the stellar survivor. Nash did spawn Rambler with it's 1960's brief popularity (perhaps most of all for teenagers, fans of the completely reclining seats). None actually had any technological, manufacturing nor distribution advantages.
I think the point is these folks generally just print what they're told. Even the formerly legitimate journalist Bethany McLain is now stuck in this dynamic, because that's where the money is.
That's why people said Russia single handedly transitioned the world to sustainable energy other than Tesla..lol. All those countries seeing how Russia weaponized their natural resource are having second thoughts on relying on them any further.
That confused me too. I kept wondering why the US CCS failed so often and those that I have used elsewhere did not. I forgot about the infernal latch!
Before anyone criticizes these plans, I think it's important to remember exactly how massive these Russian kickbacks can be. Not to mention the cocaine and prostitutes.
It is dumb indeed, but the idea was/is to replace it with new wind energy (mainly off-shore), solar, import wind energy/solar from The Netherland, wind energy from Denmark, nuclear energy from France and only use as little as possible gas, until gas generation is not needed anymore.
Thank you for the needed full story. As the host for the EU Headquarters, I might think it apposite were Belgium also to act pan-continentally, and assist albeit peripherally its EU partners in deferring consumption of the wind, LNG etc. to those countries otherwise hogtied athwart the Russian gas pipelines.
The term LFP is relatively new... i only heard it since 2 years or so in american reporting. Before it was always LiFePo (and also printed that way onto the batteries).
)Right... my point was that the abbreviations aren't consistent in representing the cell chemistry/type (i.e.- some cases Lithium is a capital in the abbreviation, in other cases it's called out separately, as you mention above), hence some people may be confused.The term LFP is relatively new... i only heard it since 2 years or so in american reporting.

NCA, NMC, etc. are not Batteries, but Cathodes. "NMC Li-Ion" is what is printed on them, implying (in this example) a Graphite Anode, Li-Ion in solvent and (in descending proportions) Nickel, Manganese & Cobalt in the Cathode.
Before that we had NiMH (Nickel Metal-Hydrate - the old 1-time-charge batteries that you used for your gameboy
But well.. LFP, NCA etc. are "just" the chemistry. You can find all that in different form factors and tabbed/multi-tabbed/tabless..
And research is underway since years for getting Na instead of Li into the solution (for stationary storage), getting Si instead of C into the anode (better energy-density, but Si expands a LOT during charge/discharge)..
Until now most of the innovation were at the Cathode (FP, NCA, NMC, ...) that made it to production.
If it’s huge, contiguous, very sunny, and displaces neither people nor wildlife then it’s got to be farms and ranches. Agrivoltaics?
The Belgian Government has obviously rescinded that decision since the invasion of Ukraine, asking on March 18 the operator (French company Engie) to keep two nuclear powerplants open for at least another ten years beyond 2025. They are looking at ways to keep more open but it's difficult.
Don’t you dare post that solar roads video.
She has free will, she chose this job.
I'm more interested when TSLA zooms past the NASDAQ .. currently TSLA is only 11$ behind (294.5 vs 305.8)
