China's population is starting to decline this year (if I'm not mistaken) but from a high of quite a lot. More importantly when are they going to put Winnie the Pooh out to pasture? It's very little about the Chinese people

Seems like a complementary match for Tesla's 4680 chemistry. Apparently the markets thought so too. It would be outside China though, there's not much to indicate Tesla will be moving 4680's to China any time soon regardless

A lot of talk about drops and latentcy here. It may be that once/if they get the optical links between satellites working, along with just more satellites, most these issues may fade into the paat. Say two to five years.

I was wondering the same thing. HVDC is 'an under the radar' technology that is set to rework a lot of the grid world wide. With projects underway to send power from Australia to Singapore or Iceland to the UK it's likely to
