It probably IS standard notes, given that Proton acquired them.

Not for 99% of the population...

Well, sounds great for any non mobile storage then. Don't think anybody cares whether their 10kWh solar battery is twice the size and weight if it's half the price.

Thank you :)

What other benefits do they have? Do they have less wear or are cheaper per Wh to produce?

Or at least, about to be when production ramps up further?

Are you really bringing up resource limitation when your point is energy sources that depend on finite fuel?

Besides, the current form of renewables is the best option we have right now, so we should put all efforts into that. Once we find something better, absolutely go for that.

Correct, but don't forget that renewables is an umbrella term.

If you use solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and bioenenergy, you're diversified and it's all renewable. Add in storage and there's not much of an issue anymore.

Sound depends on whether you value low noise. And not sure about tactile feeling, but ngl, the feeling of drivint an ICE car is awful after switching to EVs. The instant acceleration and responsiveness is just great.

So you agree that we should heavily invest in building EV charging infrastructure?

Where is the xkcd talking about cars?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I didn't remove context, you added context.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (8 children)

Your argument is with electric cars vs ice cars. xkcd likely specifically was talking about engines just so all the range arguments don't work. It's just engine vs engine and there electric is far superior.

Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?

Should they always go into a downward spiral and explain everything they did? Check out the Proton Christmas fundraisers, that's what they are talking about

There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request." : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.

No legal system in the world allows you to fight everything all the time. Get to reality.

Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems." : clearly not.

Wasn't that case in France? Don't remember exactly. Not sure if you're calling France to have unfair justice systems, but then you should probably look for a new planet, because nothing is 100% fair unfortunately.

You can still distinguish between very bad, kind of bad, okayish, and mostly good.
