  • I really don’t know why people are downvoting you. The internet is full of journalistic coverage of new developments in the field of photovoltaic and electric batteries, and journalistic coverage of science is generally… poor. They overstate the importance of everything because they wanna make clickbait, and the result is that it feels like there’s a nonstop of development, of new battery technologies that are gonna change the world… It’s frankly exhausting, like, give me real data as you say, such as capacity installed per year, trends in battery capacities and prices and the reasons for that, and so on and so forth.



  • Please tell us how environmentally friendly bringing infrastructure like internet, roads, electricity, water or garbage disposal to low-population density areas is, and how resource-efficient single family houses are. Go off living your happiest life, mate, just don’t preach about the sustainability of it when your eco-footprint is twice that of a city dweller.

    As advice: for solar panels to charge an EV, you’re gonna need a fuckton of them. An EV battery is easily 50kWh, which means a 10kW solar installation producing full energy for 5 hours (assuming perfect efficiency on conversion). So be ready to buy a lot of panels.





  • freedom for laborers was indeed a defining feature of capitalism. I’m not sure that puts the OP fighting against that system in a good light

    “Not sure fighting against feudalism and saying that in antiquity there was slavery instead puts the fight in a good light”

    Anyway, comoditized labor is nearly dead

    Do you know what you’re talking about? How is commodity-labor nearly dead? What percentage of people engage in free contracts in which they exchange their labor for a wage? I’d say the vast majority.

    the 20th century created that entire labor market oligopsony thing. “You’ll never work on this city again!” was something so feared that it entered plenty of movies.

    Ok? That’s not a defining feature of capitalism, ofc some things change but that’s not even reflected in any Marxist literature I’ve read. Why do you insist we’re in something fundamentally different? I feel like you haven’t read on the topic
