It's time to make war profiteers pay, and fund the switch to #renewables

the coolest thing with solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to get it.

[revk@toot.me.uk]

@greenpeace Yeh, Lithium, and other things become the new oil. But yes, a good start.

@greenpeace you've never been to the British Isles, then? People here regularly invade Spain for sunshine!

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@greenpeace Fortunately, Musk and Bezos are trying to make sure that changes.

[dozymoe@mastodon.social]

@greenpeace the point is not getting it but monopolizing it, because capitalism loves monopoly to maximize profit.

We will soon be shifting from sun as communal property to the sun as private property.

There is quite a big move away from lithium for just the reasons you make, sodium is looking good for bulk energy storage, lithium iron phosphate was developed to stop using nickel and cobolt and many other technologies are in the pipe line.
The move away from scarce materials is in full swing, its not like the carbon economies where there are only a few use once type solutions

@saltywizard @greenpeace
Works there too.

@revk @greenpeace
Sure but you don't burn the lithium like oil. It can be reused for decades

[gooba42@mastodon.social]

@fourmiune @Npfmorsan @greenpeace Yet. Billionaires are working the problem and already have plans for space based energy supplies/restrictions.

You will be paying for your quota of sunlight as soon as they can figure out how to make it scarce.

@julesbl @greenpeace Sodium is great as anyone with a coastline has that.

But magnets are also a thing, and that is a tad harder to solve.

[revk@toot.me.uk]

@geos @greenpeace That too.

@greenpeace The Mole People beg to differ
