Fusion, cheap solar cells, and this.
- scoot 10y agoBattery tech - it's the next big thing that never was.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoAhh, except solar Is so cheap now it's driving fossil fuels out of business and utilities are replacing natural gas peaker plants with battery storage. Y'all sleep through the last year?
- astrodust 10y agoThat's the problem with exponential curves. At first nothing's happening, it's extremely boring, and slowly, ever so slowly, things start to pick up. Then one day you blink and it's gone right past you.
- xbmcuser 10y agoBattery tech is improving by about 20% every 2 years. Batteries that cost about $1000-1200 in 2009-10 are expected to cost now around $200-300 this year. We have been getting incremental improvements in price and capacity but most people don't notice.
- Al-Khwarizmi 10y agoWe don't notice because the Facebook app's battery usage grows faster than 20% every two years.
