To be honest, it is a bit over my head in some ways, but interesting.

Re: Technological Cumulativeness, (Accumulation).

I have recently seen articles about recycling solar panels into batteries.

But here we have a notion of a new materials for wind turbines, that can be easily recycled.

Well, that sounds good.

Scientists make astounding breakthrough to quickly and safely store air pollution: 'A universal solution'
Story by Stephen Proctor • 1w • 2 min read

The technique developed at UT Austin allows for the ultrafast formation of carbon dioxide hydrates resembling ice formations that can be buried at sea.

"Hydrates offer a universal solution for carbon storage," Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering professor Vaibhav Bahadur, who led the research, said, per Innovation News Network. "For them to be a major piece of the carbon storage pie, we need the technology to grow them rapidly and at scale."

The new method uses magnesium as the driving force of the hydrates that form six times faster than was previously possible using chemical promoters. Even better, the method is aided by seawater, making it easily doable for any country with a coastline.

I would think that this could be an opportunity for places that have lots of available power on the cheep on a coastline or even on a ship at sea.

So, then we can keep the subordinators at bay, the evil greens who want to be feudal lords, and to deindustrialize us.

Virtual power plants it says.

Looks like another nibble on the problems for solar and wind.

I posted something like this on this a while back, but each article may reveal more details: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/compani … 98ae&ei=21

So, there is a lot of room for wind power on this planet.  This is certainly of value.

Another planet where wind power might be of significant value would be Venus.  But of course, I don't how this material would react to acids.

So, this could bring more remote sourced energy to the likely markets for it.
It should help renewables I expect.

I note the notion which I actually thing is true that there are principalities of power who may choose to do things that I consider evil.  But they are real, and perhaps my considerations are in error as per the greater notions of the true nature of reality and responsibility.

I also note that in the End the Raptor and BE4 are described as Old Tech.

But If I could live another 50 years, perhaps this will be the truth in that future.

Sounds like it could be good for Mars, as a lifesaver during dust storms.  But compatible with solar, and on Earth, wind.
