The Big Business Of Energy For The EV Industry
Energy and battery technology is booming.
As U.S. automakers make bold long-term commitments to electrify their fleets, there may not be enough lithium-ion batteries to go around in the short-term. While China dominates the battery manufacturing supply chain, and Europe is working to catch up, the U.S. still lags far behind. As batteries become a matter of energy independence and national security, here’s what the U.S. can do to catch up.
Analysts estimate that the size of the EV battery industry will grow to around $70 billion by 2025, and there’s a number of innovative battery start-ups trying to grab a piece of the pie. One of these companies, Cuberg, is making lithium-metal batteries, which it says will be twice as energy dense as standard lithium-ion, and could therefore help electric vehicles become cheaper and more efficient. Because Cuberg’s tech is largely compatible with existing lithium-ion manufacturing processes, it has the potential to scale quickly. And if it does, we could see lithium metal batteries powering small planes and electric vehicles within the decade.
Elon Musk announced that Tesla was getting into the energy business in 2015, and now it’s betting that it will become increasingly important for the company. In 2020, it surpassed 3 gigawatt hours of energy storage deployments in a single year, largely due to the popularity of Megapack, its utility-scale battery product. CNBC visited PG&E’s Tesla Megapack site in Moss Landing, California and learned why energy storage systems like Tesla’s could be everywhere in a future of renewable power.
Energy is also coming from unlikely sources. Bioo is generating electricity from the organic matter in soil and creating biological batteries to power agricultural sensors, a growing $1.36 billion global market. Eventually, Bioo envisions a future where biology could help to power our largest cities.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity across the crypto industry. While Bitcoin itself is considered resilient, the platforms that connect users to their assets may be more vulnerable. AI can scan complex software systems quickly, uncovering hidden flaws and enabling faster attacks. This shift is forcing crypto companies to rethink how they protect their infrastructure.

What Anthropic’s Mythos Means For Crypto Security
source
Meta has launched Muse Spark, its most powerful AI model yet and the first major product from Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang’s newly formed Meta Superintelligence Lab. The release comes as the company ramps capital expenditures to as much as $135 billion this year, nearly double last year’s spend, raising the stakes for every product that emerges from Wang’s lab. Unlike Meta’s previous open-source Llama models, Muse Spark will be proprietary, with plans to eventually offer paid API access, opening a potential new revenue stream. Meta says larger, more capable models are already in development and that Muse Spark is just the foundation on the road to what Zuckerberg and Wang call “personal superintelligence.” CNBC’s Julia Boorstin explores why this launch is such a big deal for Meta.

Job-seeking impostors, including deepfakes, are exploiting the remote work trend, defrauding U.S. companies and potentially threatening U.S. national security, according to experts.
While fraudulent job seekers can originate from anywhere, fake candidates with ties to North Korea have drawn significant headlines in recent months.

These are great ideas especially considering how the Public Utilities Commission of California is allowing big utility companies to gouge consumers by doubling the cost of electricity in the last few years. I am not a fan of Elon Musk with the way he treats his employees and his control of his take over on a social communication company. But the Research and Development of renewable energy is beneficial in pulling away from fossil fuels.

The Powerwall 2 life is only ten years. ROI doesn't make sense based on the total costs and battery performance. Instead of paying 6 to 5.5 cents per kWh for the solar energy feed, why can't the energy compaies charge home owners on the net consumption or pay the same rate they charge us so that we don't have waste money on batteries.

The new renewable electricity producing organic batteries which convert residual ambient solar heat available around us 24hrs in the "shadow" to electricity.
This new renewable electricity production method has potential to replace all other methods of electricity production to power household devices, to power EVs and to supply electricity to the grids!
Further, this new renewable electricity production method has potential to give additional income to landless homeless poor households to rent or to build their homes instead of living in streets!

Solar, more than any other generating technology, can be integrated with existing infrastructure and even provide side benefits that no other can match.
Rooftop solar can help reduce radiation into buildings. Agrivoltaics can help shade crops that would otherwise dry out under direct sunlight. Reservoirs and irrigation canals can use solar panels to help reduce evaporation. 😊

The range increases promised is the main good thing about the solid metal battery pack. Because more than anything at least in rich countries the problem with unreliable range and low range in cold weather is the biggest problem to solve for current and future battery technology’s and generally the low range compared to gasoline cars apart from cost is the reason hindering mass adoption of EV technology and vehicles. In addition current buildout of high power / fast charging infrastructure is also an important why mass adoption is not in the pipeline in the near future, not until there is improvements in all these areas.
