1. Wow! A Breakthrough! We're saved!

I love these University press releases. When I was a kid I was dumb enough to take them seriously, but since I was a kid, the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide has risen by more than 100 ppm and the planet has started burning, more or less, without stop.

The rate of accumulation of dangerous fossil waste is accelerating and now has reached the highest level observed in human history, in fact some of the highest rates in geological history.

None of the laws of thermodynamics have not been overturned by battery breakthroughs. Storing energy still wastes energy and the world energy supply continues to be dominated by fossil fuels. It follows that almost by definition a battery is a device that drives the collapse of the planetary atmosphere that is currently observed.
