Yes that sounds like a more accurate term but then that might be a negative. Convincing skeptics and contrarians it’s people who destabilize the climate comes ime usually after convincing them the climate is really changing and it’s not just a fluke occasion of weather we had in the past. Before you know it restaurants will have signs "we don't serve climate destabilizers"

maybe a separate “speculative battery technologies” thread in tech&sci? Let’s reserve this thread for its stated topic.This abundant material could unlock cheaper batteries for EVs
Sodium-based batteries could start hitting the market this year, if companies follow through on their plans.www.technologyreview.com
It is the stated topic and converting to this technology is key to solving the problem and I consider MIT a reliable source of information and professional opinion. What is this thread about if not solutions? Whining about shit or solving problems with informed public opinion? The battery industry is seeing tremendous changes and growth with battery factories under construction all over North America and major government policy shifts supporting these changes. This technology is absolutely critical for both grid storage and transport with the various chemistries finding their niches in an evolving technological landscape. Climate change is about green technologies, wind, solar and geothermal as well as things like heat pumps and LED lighting technology.
I suppose I could fill the thread with vain little assholes gluing themselves to things or destroying our shared human culture.
You’re doing that in the gun threads; are you not satisfied with that?
I disagree. Post after post after post of unproven Popular Mechanics-style speculation about batteries does not advance the thread’s program. I suggest compartmenting those elsewhere so we can get back to, oh I dunno, climate and climate politics.
Gun culture should die and I'm happy to kill it, here and in America.
The last two posts were from IEEE.org and MIT and were professionally presented with realistic timelines and projections of the various technologies in the pipeline. It is US and Canadian policy to go EV in a serious way by 2030, that is a mere 7 years away. The third last post was about breakthroughs in zinc electrochemistry's that are apparently ready to go to market for cheap energy storage and the article and people involved put emphases this, hardly speculative. Several companies are producing sodium-based batteries or soon will be and silicon-based Li-on batteries are being produced now by several companies. So, there is a lot of news in the industry and not all of it is 5 or 10 years away. There is a lot of hype in this industry, and I tend not to post it and try to stick with things we should see implemented in a decade or less.
None of it has a catalog number. It’s Popular Mechanics.
I didn't realize the thread had a program. I guess a "climate related technology" thread couldn't hurt. While i actually see the connection between batteries and the climate, I could do without seeing every speculative story about the subject that gets published.
Not a scientific or academic journal here, but most articles contain links and references to such articles, but they are not what most people would or could read. It is more about reliable information and future prospects so folks can make decisions about public policy, such publications have an extremely narrow focus and interest very few other than those working in the field.

Joe should tell him privately he will order the immediate closing of the mine and power plant and bankrupt the companies wiping out the shareholders, if America goes down, Joe will take this fucker and his buddies down with it and they will go down first.
