Well, if we go with The Matrix, then these battery specimens so far have only been storing energy, not releasing it.. =)
- chiefalchemist 9y agoNope. Let me explain :) Consuming (i.e., food, clothing,fuel,etc.) is the "energy" that drives The Matrix. Humans are mere consumers. That's how they're refered to. That's how we refer to ourselves. The fact that we're choosing ro over-consume to the point of killing ourselves and killing to planet is about as dystopian as it gets. Sadly VR goggles might be our only hope.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoNot to get too off topic but I want to add this. What was one of the first things POTUS GWB told the USA public after 9.11? "Keeping shopping." And no one even notice. So perhaps there's some 1984 going on as well?
- wmeredith 9y agoNah, they're releasing money, not energy.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoMoney is energy in said current Matrix :)
