So they'll never be in the present?
Until one day. Maybe they will exist. Until then. Next big thing. Next big thing Next.big.thing
Except for the part where they need to be encapsulated in a fully air tight glass container, since they degrade relatively quickly when exposed to regular air.
I think the point of his post was "and they ALWAYS will be"
Per the article:
Sekisui Chemical, a supplier to display makers, is tackling the moisture issue. It says it has developed sealants that allow its cells to last 10 years.
Not nearly as good as silicon, but perhaps good enough for a lot of applications
Hell, by the time the first ones need replacing, something better will have come along to do the job better and cheaper.
Micro fusion reactors are already here. We plugged one into our toilet and we can do mini orbits.
Maybe we could use abnormal air like farts for example?
China’s near-monopoly on the solar-energy market
I'm out. There's no such fucking thing. Dog whistles everywhere.
But... They do? It's not the energy. It's the production and materials used for making solar that China has a near-monopoly on.
Buffalo (Buffalo Billion) funded a deal with the Solar City to make panels & they outfit couldn't make a customer appealing panel color or compete with the quickly dropping price of Chinese imports. Even after Telsa took over his cousins operation they had the same trouble when even trying to adapt it to roof tiles so to satisfy the obligation for employment numbers they just had workers improve their Mapping systems.
