Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
What form factor are they manufacturing these in? I'd love some way to swap in a battery for an electric conversion for an old BMW 2002
It's not the best battery type for cars, unless perhaps you are near arctic circle. They are heavy.
Sodium-ion's main advantages are safety, and ultra abundant material source for unlimited batteries, if lithium becomes expensive.
I thought sodium had high charge cycles, as well.
it does. LFP can cycle (slowly) 1 per day for 30 years though. 10 years at full fast charge/discharge. Because of financing/opportunity cost of money, the longer cycle life of Sodium Ion is not a game changer.
Fair points.
