@white_male @Paleface @UnCL3 Did you not read before replying?
@cjd I didn't say that, but if you're content fighting strawmen, be my guest.
#Deepfakes are everywhere, but #DigitalForensics investigators are fighting back:
@cjd Oil isn't worse, but it's a long story.
> "Nobody cares"
I addressed this already.
You're right, they don't care, one way or another, and will divest at a drop of a hat.
But that's on most things, not energy, people care about energy more than you think.
> Pic related.
I've addressed this as well.
The graph is energy generation.
Meaning, it's showing the aforementioned astroturfing, nothing more.
Overlay government subsidies on that graph, and it will be the same graph.
@cjd The drop in Lithium prices correlates with China digging up more Lithium.
Supply rose tremendously, so prices went down.
China's markets aren't exactly natural, and everything can go up in smoke if some bureaucrat decides it to be so.
It's a very precarious situation, and while our on-demand economy favors Lithium-ion now, I think a small upset, a rise in tariffs, or any such instability, threatens to collapse the market entirely.
Once the first phone manufacturer comes out with a Sodium-ion battery, it will be over.
No one wants to be dependent for their energy, least of all on China.
As for the solar panels, even if those prices are not adjusted for inflation, the trend is clearly slowing, and may reverse once the hype, and massive government astroturfing ends.
I think the grift is far deeper than anyone can imagine.
The old "Solar-freaking-roadways", is a tip of an iceberg of institutional, and international, corruption.
@yew One of several recurring protagonists in the Resident Evil videogame franchise.
I looked it up, and apparently his appearance is based on some Romanian model, named Eduard Badaluta, but then Eduard kinda looks like a young Mads Mikkelsen.
I draw, code, and make memes sometimes.
