' Battery material innovator X-Batt has partnered with Consol Innovations, an offshoot of Consol Energy, to fast-track their coal-based anode technology.
The two companies announced Tuesday October 11 their C-Batt Innovations joint venture, formed to push forward the development of battery materials sourced from coal.
Since collaborating with the United States’ Department of Energy in 2020, X-Batt has integrated coal into its unique, low-cost resin method, producing efficient, domestically sourced anode materials.' www.mining.com/x-batt-and-consol-collaborate-on-coal-based-battery-tech/

Global warming? My thought / questions If one goes back to say 1960, How many street lights were there? How many homes and businesses were there? How many were air conditioned? How many humans were there? How many cars were in the US alone? What was the average operating temperature of those cars vs today Don't forget to throw automatic transmissions in there None had catalytic converters How big and long (timewise) were the traffic jams in major metro areas compared to today? How many flights a day did the airlines make? Now fast forward to 2023 and ask the same questions. All of the above things generate HEAT along with many other unmentioned sources. Where does that heat go? I'll be interested to the responses as it is something I've wondered for a long time

I think the elephant in the room for all climate change conversations is the earth's population, which has exploded in recent decades. That, and countries around the world improving their standard of living so that all of those new people want/need creature comforts and conveniences. Not that you can blame them, we all want heating/cooling, stoves, refrigerators, vehicles, etc. etc. etc.
For some reason economies around the world only seem to function on growth in order to remain successful. So everybody is increasing populations either by births in more populous countries, or immigration in other countries where the birth rate is down. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that more people using energy = more pollution/heat/carbon/whatever, that's said to be the cause of global warming.
However, humans seem to generally think that we should never ever limit birthrates, and instead we have the hubris to believe that we can create some sort of technological solution, like electric cars, carbon capturing, etc etc etc. Meanwhile, population continues to grow and we will soon be facing food/water insecurity (for those of us who aren't yet), resources dwindling, etc etc.
Don't believe me? Here are the world's population numbers for every decade since 1960:
1960 - 3,019,233,434 1970 - 3,695,390,336 1980 - 4,444,007,706 1990 - 5,316,175,862 2000 - 6,148,898,975 2010 - 6,985,603,105 2020 - 7,840,952,880 2023 - 8,045,311,447
I think most of us on this board were around in 1980. Did you ever imagine that the world's population would almost double in the next 43 years? And we're wondering why our climate/environment is taking a beating? Not to mention all of the animal species that are disappearing at an alarming rate.

Most of the world is under replacement rate and the areas that are well above it are known for instability.

Let's be clear; although diminished, the American coal industry is still functioning. Here in downstate Illinois, we have far fewer mines with far fewer employees. But the production is spectacular due to long walls. But much of that coal is going to the Mississippi river and then overseas. Other countries can burn our coal and reap the financial benefits, but not us. And the impact on the atmosphere is the same, whether we prosper with coal or whether our adversaries do.
There is much more to this foolishness, but nobody really cares. Certainly not enough to start reigning in the foolishness. The greenies and their demorat allies have our energy policies all screwed up. And that screws each and every one of us every single day. And it's getting worse by the day.
Biden and the demorats have got to go. But it is already too late to save many parts of our fossil fuel industry. When the Chinese take over, they will be very happy that the dems saved so many valuable resources for them.

They have been spewing this since at least the 70's. Guess what they are wrong and we have found numerous solutions to the so called problems you regurgitate. Those that believe increasing populations are an issue have now resorted to doing everything they can to eliminate/minimize/ban the solutions that have been successful. The true test of how much you actually believe this crap would be you doing something personal about it. You're still breathing, contributing to the problem aren't you? Just like the global warming charlatans buying million dollar mansions on the beach.

Seems were just gonna trade one set of problems for another down the road. I noticed exon is way deep into it all now for the liquid lithium. A bit off topic but I think this all could of been done in a bit softer way vs telling the common people how much we do not know (but do) in the ways that our days of excess and inefficiency needs to change. Im building a new house on my one farm thats a third the square footage as my current. My new shop will have 40% less area to heat and cool vs the one I built in 1980.
But in the end I guess they are getting what they want and thats people to use less energy but I am simply doing it to be less dependent on the people telling us what to do.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Again: The country that harnessed the atom and put a man on the moon can't burn coal and other fossil fuels cleanly?!?!?
It could be done. The ONLY blockade is politics. LIBERAL politics.
Only liberal logic would create an energy policy where we leave our massive fossil fuel reserves in the ground (except to ship overseas to our competitors) while importing wind and sun production units from our competitors/enemies.
