All this huge R&D money flowing to better batteries. But we only need better EV batteries because the government is fully bought into the climate change hoax and CO2 is evil line. Even if you converted 100% of all automobiles worldwide to electric, the CO2 savings are inconsequential and the impact on climate less than inconsequential.

This is a perfect example of what Bjorn Lomborg described in “The Skeptical Environmentalist.” The huge money flowing to the climate scam (including battery R&D) means that the same money is not available for much more important things like clean water, housing, food, and education around the world.

It was “discovered”? Like “Hey, look what I found in the back of the closet!”.I think “Invented” is the word that should be used here. Another language change? Invented connotes genius and achievement. Discovered implies luck and happenstance. Fits the pattern.

“facilitated by AI and interdisciplinary collaboration”

“identifying novel materials that contribute towards achieving global objectives, including the pursuit of Net Zero.”

Of course.

Another pseudo-tech article that begins with a snazzy picture.
