Again batteries are an energy store and not an energy source. The fact the author cannot distinguish that makes the their opinion less credible.

- Xemplolo 1y agoYou are just not able to comprehend basic writing styles. The author is a journalist and not the expert he is interviewing thats the first thing. So why would you even evaluate the journalists 'expertise' if you get the answers from the experts. And secondly what he probalby meant was that what if this company can 'push out' all active lifecycle before they recycle them. This is called a metapher.

- Xemplolo 1y agoJournalists write for an audiance which normally gets it. You just might not be one of them. And no no one needs to write everything so that everyone always gets it. I for example do not write blog articles for kids. I also don't write very technical blog articles for people outside of tech.
- adwn 1y ago> Journalists write for an audiance which normally gets it. That's a bullshit justification. "It's factually wrong, but that's okay, the true audience knows what the author means anyway." Then why write it at all? It makes no sense. Stop making up excuses for clueless journalists.
