I skimmed through looking for some key numbers but didn't find them. I bet someone who knows how to read the many numbers they did share would be able to hazard a guess: what would the $/kWh look like? how many cycles until you h

Keep in mind whenever you see these "we have X <timeframe>" quotes, they're usually an attempt to fit a complicated series of graphs into a short English sentence/headline, so they will always be wildly reductive

I'm sorry I don't want to turn this into a back and forth internet debate but I feel like you're very deliberately missing the point. Averages are an abstraction. People are real. "getting better" for those people

realistically there is no way to "offset" carbon emissions today. there are plenty of people that will take your money, but to date they can be considered at best beta tests, not functioning solutions. your choice is to vote hard
