And making batteries is all good….. Right?

No harm to the environment, right?

Batteries are terrible.

Come on; batteries are not terrible.

Prices are coming down and have been for decades.

The heavy and rare earths being used per battery are being reduced all the time.

Recycling is already ready to go.

They fucking work. And they work now.

And sure, there is a cost to the environment. Just like hydrogen has. Just like coal has. Just like oil has. Just like you have.

What are batteries generally associated with in this context? OC can choose to identify with who I was teasing, or not. Because beyond that, it was a genuine question.

Snarky =/= genuine... Also stereotyping into camps as a way of discrediting the other opinion is probably the most flawed kind of rethoric out there. Unfortunately people online seem to love that shit.
