    We’re focusing on this single word because it’s used to drive hype. We’re constantly told we’re getting a major breakthrough that changes EVERYTHING to keep us clicking on the news.

    Maybe we wish that instead of acting like we’re about to get a 300% increase in energy storage density every time something new is discovered, scientists and media were honest and told it like it is - it’s going to be just yet another improvement to our existing lithium batteries. Which is great, but not worth a minute of your attention every single time it happens.

      Then…stop giving it by making inane, tired, cliched comments. And stop blaming shitty journalism and mandatory PR department fake hype for grant money on the scientists. Downvote and move on.
