Awww, c'mon! That picture is funny
What you posted is a bit exaggerated and blown out of proportion, but it does have its points. Innovation is never easy and there are always hurdles, but nitpicking at one small aspect of that innovation is indicative of the natural fear of change.
Lithium is but one electron storage technology and it's already on its way out. Change is always difficult and even painful. This change
is going to happen and there isn't much point in trying to argue the fine points. Time and effort are much better spent solving problems instead of talking about them
Just look back in history...Edison spent countless dollars and time to discredit and ridicule Tesla and his AC. Why? Did he really think that AC was as dangerous as he made it out to be? No. He did so because Tesla's AC threatened his wallet and pride...it scared him. It's the same story repeated over and over. So, you see, debate is useless in the face of real innovation. I'd rather be on the side of innovation, not the side that fights it.
I completely respect your opinion, even if I don't fully agree, but I'm a problem solver so I'll leave the debate to the debaters.
