minus-squareHugucinogens@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up76arrow-down5·9 months agoLol I just love when large organizations (governments included) skimp on something for monetary reasons, and get fucked down the line. Too bad citizens pay the damages.
minus-squarePirateJesus@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-29 months agoWish there was just a faster way to get citizen input. “Hey folks, this is going to be a cost overrun for this very very good reason, please vote yay or nay in the weekly election”. Don’t see how it could work now though, given that half the citizens are deeply committed to destroying everything to prove gov doesn’t work.
minus-squareDogWater@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·9 months agoYou can’t just say battery. There’s tons of energy storage that isn’t chemical based. Thermal sand batteries, pumping hydro up a hill, flywheel energy storage, etc. Energy storage doesn’t inherently mean pollution
minus-squareDogWater@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoYeah, the cobalt and lithium is quite nasty to mine
minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·9 months agoYou gotta say what kind of battery when you make a comment like that. A bottle of pressurized gas is a battery. Not very polluting though.

Lol
