Getting AC where we live is very difficult to install (we have 40 to 50cm thick walls) and expensive to run.
We do now, where we live in France we just had 44°. So my condolences and please stay stay safe out there.
Hah jokes on you a lot of us did not have cartoon network growing up.
You would imagine they would trial these programs to see if there are massive flaws with them but that is probably to expensive.
I imagine they had to do a lot of calculations in order to be sure this installation would not compromise the dam. But if this could be applied in other locations, it could be extremely benificial.
Sodium is absolutely less of a fire risk which is good and is made of less rare earth minerals which is also a bonus.
The major downside is the energy density. If I am not mistaken it is about half of current litium ion batteries. Which would result in a halving of range for the same weight.
On top of that, if they ever get them into production, the solid state Lithium ion batteries are not only more energy dense than current batteries, they are also safer due to the lack of flammable liquid electrolites.
In conclusion with what I know, I doubt most cars will use sodium ion batteries. I would see them as great home batteries for solar installations. And maybe batteries for farm equipement or construction vehicles although the weight might become an issue.
There is no difference. From what I can find online, Libre in FLOSS is just there to make it clear that it is free as in freedom and not free as in beer.
