In general I agree with the renewable energy movement, and also with the ideas that come with modern approaches to electric mobility (like car sharing etc).
The only point I have left that I have to agree with, and that's a huge one, is recycling.
Our governments across the planet have failed to enforce sustainable recycling pipelines in the plastics industry, how would this be any different?
Why is my laptop battery useless after a year and has only 60% power capacity?
How is this even legal that warranty for batteries is 6 months?
I think that in order to make more sustainable battery tech, we need better recycling pipelines for it. And more important: all the plastics, chips, and pcbs needed around it need to be 100% recycled, not upcycled. And manufacturs reusing only 10% of their materials aren't worth a shit.
The ironic thing today is that a simple plumbum/acid based battery is more sustainable than a lithium ion one. It's energy density, however, is a joke. But it never gets useless, and is maintainable, and, more importantly, doesn't lose energy density over time so it's ideal for buildings that have a longer lifetime than a car.
