New Samsung Solid-State EV Battery has 600-Mile Range and Charges in 9 Minutes…

August 21st, 2024

As I read about Samsung’s new solid state battery, I started to wonder, “What’s the catch?”

These batteries require about 1KG of silver per vehicle:

He noted that while official numbers are currently unavailable, estimates show that there could be as much as five grams of silver per cell in Samsung’s solid-state batteries, meaning “a typical EV battery pack containing around 200 cells for a 100 kWh capacity could require about 1 kg of silver per vehicle.”

Samsung recently pulled back the curtain on its latest battery innovations aimed at powering tomorrow’s electric vehicles. From solid-state cells promising over 600 miles of range to ultra-fast charging and extended lifespans, the tech giant laid out an ambitious roadmap.

Samsung’s oxide solid-state batteries, now in pilot production and testing with automakers, boast an impressive energy density of around 500 Wh/kg – roughly double that of today’s mainstream EV batteries. The Elec notes the batteries have an unbelievably quick time to full-charge of just nine minutes and lifespans up to an incredible 20 years.


Drone Incursions Over Palmdale Skunkworks Factory

August 20th, 2024

Via: The War Zone:

The U.S. Air Force’s Plant 42 in California, America’s premier hub for advanced aerospace development work, especially highly classified military programs, has seen a wave of mysterious drone incursions in recent months. The incidents have now become serious enough to prompt the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to impose new, if temporary flight restrictions around the sprawling high-security facility. The Air Force acknowledged these incidents in response to our questions about purported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the area which became viral on social media over the weekend and that local law enforcement appears to have received no reports about.

Palmdale Regional Airport shares the runways with Plant 42, which is home to Lockheed Martin’s famed Skunk Works advanced projects division, as well as similar arms of both Northrop Grumman and Boeing. NASA also has a flight testing center there. As a prime example of the work that goes on at Plant 42, it is where Northrop Grumman has been building the U.S. Air Force’s new B-21 Raider stealth bombers. America’s most sensitive and ‘bleeding edge’ aerospace weaponry emerges from this facility, so security at the installation, which is located in a relatively urban area, is taken very seriously.

Kamala Harris’ Dishonest and Stupid Price Control Proposal

August 19th, 2024

Via: Reason:

When you’ve caused a problem, deflect! At least, that seems to be the strategy of Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who spent the last several years as part of an administration that presided over a growing mismatch between Americans’ pay and the cost of living. Rather than take responsibility for the decline of the dollar’s purchasing power, she blames businesses that were forced to raise prices as a result. And she wants to fix the problem she helped cause by restricting those prices, never mind the inevitable consequences for the availability of goods and services.


House Concludes Biden “Actively Participated” In Impeachable Offenses – Except It’s Too Late To Impeach Him

August 19th, 2024

*snore*

Via: ZeroHedge:

The GOP-led House committees who have been investigating the Biden family shook their fist at the sky on Monday, announcing in a 291-page report that the president engaged in impeachable conduct by helping to enrich his family with millions of dollars through various business schemes to trade on the family name – and then defrauded voters by lying to cover it up, Just the News reports.

The House Oversight, Ways and Means and Judiciary Committees said they believe the evidence from their nine-month investigation establishes that Biden abused his office and violated his oaths under the Constitution, according to the 291-page report reviewed by Just the News.

Obviously this would have been infinitely more helpful even a few months ago when there was time for the GOP-controlled House to take action (particularly before the DOJ concluded that Biden is too senile to prosecute), but hey – better late than never.

No injuries were reported, public affairs chief Stefanie Antosh told the San Antonio Express-News.

Russia’s foreign ministry said Ukraine had used Western rockets, likely U.S.-made HIMARS, to destroy a bridge over the Seym river in the Kursk region, killing volunteers trying to evacuate civilians.

“For the first time, the Kursk region was hit by Western-made rocket launchers, probably American HIMARS,” Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry, said late on Friday on the Telegram messaging app.

“As a result of the attack on the bridge over the Seym River in the Glushkovo district, it was completely destroyed, and volunteers who were assisting the evacuated civilian population were killed.”

There was no indication of how many volunteers were killed in Friday’s attack.

Rising Autism Rates, Economic and Societal Costs

August 16th, 2024

“It is the greatest financial crime in history… It will lead to collapse in our lifetime.”

There are tens of thousands of posts on Cryptogon. I know that most of you just scan the headlines, because, how could anyone follow even the abridged version of what is happening that I present here…

Please don’t do that with this interview. Please listen to this.

In summary: The damage related to autism that has already been done will result in collapse. Rather than hitting the brakes, which won’t happen and wouldn’t help anyway, the disaster will only accelerate.
