Well...I just read all of Jimoto Saikou just to find one very specific scene, and I did indeed find it. Though in doing so, I also read one of the most vile, disgusting, hoodrat-glorifying manga ever. Get ready to see twerps using this as their pfp. God save the kids.
@Baldnewsnetwork@netflix@NetflixAnime ๅฐๅ (jimoto) means "hometown" and ๆ้ซ(saiko) means "the greatest" also can be a pun for "psycho" which would fit in this case.

@YCCMacro After the metro line opened near his house, my friend in China sold his car. Because he doesn't need to go to the office with car anymore. And he keeps 60% of the income
In kindergarten we learned:
Capacity is not energy.
Energy is not capacity.
A bucket is not the water.
A road is not the traffic.
Gold star. โญ
Then we grew up and discovered that wind generated roughly one-third as much electricity as nuclear in 2015 and roughly the same amount by 2025.
At which point some people decided the best response was to shout:
"CAPACITY ISN'T ENERGY!"
Yes Timmy, we know.
Now let's move on to the part where one technology added roughly 870 GW in a decade, the other added around 40 GW, and they somehow ended up producing similar amounts of electricity.
The class assignment wasn't to memorise the difference between capacity and energy.
It was to understand what happened next. ๐
Wind now generates roughly as much electricity as nuclear globally, but its growth rate is vastly higher. Over the last decade, wind added around 870 GW of capacity versus roughly 40 GW for nuclear. Better economics, faster deployment and manufacturing scale are winning the day.
One of the clearest signs that batteries have moved beyond a niche technology.
In just four years, tracked utility-scale BESS projects grew from 1,142 to more than 10,000 globally. But the most interesting number isn't the project count.
The first 5,000 projects represented around 1 TWh of storage.
The next 5,000 projects represented almost 2 TWh.
In other words, batteries aren't just growing in number. They're growing in size.
That's exactly what you would expect as costs fall, solar penetration rises, curtailment increases, and grids demand more flexibility.
Solar creates the opportunity.
Batteries capture the value.
Together they reinforce each other.
The disruption isn't slowing. It's hitting overdrive.๐๐ #BESS #BatteryStorage #EnergyTransition #Bettrification #Renewables #CleanEnergy #SWB
@DickWinchester@EVCurveFuturist That's why it's call 40% NEV (New Energy Vehicle)
-BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles)
-PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles)
-EREV (Extended-Range Electric Vehicles)
-FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles) or Hydrogen car.

Global grid battery additions (#BESS) have grown from around 1 GW in 2015 to 112 GW in 2025.
BloombergNEF expects annual deployments to reach 228 GW by 2030.
My Structural Transition Case is considerably more aggressive, reaching 919 GW by 2030, around 4x BloombergNEF's outlook.
Why? Because batteries are no longer a standalone market. Their growth is increasingly being driven by the success of solar.
More solar creates more midday oversupply and curtailment. More curtailment improves the economics of storage. More storage then enables even more solar. It's a powerful feedback loop.
โ๏ธ Solar drives curtailment.
๐ Curtailment drives batteries.
โก Batteries enable more solar.
โ๏ธ More solar creates more curtailment.
Add falling LFP costs, China's manufacturing scale, accelerating electrification, increasing energy security concerns and AI-driven electricity demand, and the case becomes even stronger.
LMFP is waiting in the wings, offering higher energy density than LFP, while sodium-ion is queuing up behind it with the potential for even lower-cost stationary storage.
Cost curves don't care about opinions. They have a habit of blowing straight past linear projections, as the solar industry has demonstrated repeatedly over the past two decades.
They just keep falling. And disruption keeps accelerating. ๐โก๐
