Progress is progress, and it's good to be skeptical (I literally just posted a comment saying "I'm skeptical"!), but progress is good. ๐ What other alternatives are there?
If it doesn't make dollars, it doesn't make sense. That's why the electric car movement is having a hard time really taking off rn; it is hard to justify & all the tech, all our builds, aren't exactly super economical yet. And they're not built for tough conditions, heavy towing, long commutes, and easily workable & recyclable components.
...but things are, indeed, getting better. If you look at it from a macro view. Lithium recycling can be done even a decade ago, but IIRC it was relatively small scale & the lithium could be refreshed "most of the way", not fully. The right things will catch on when their time is right & its viability is realized.
Man's greatest strength is our shared knowledge, technology, science, and innovation. I encourage you to make good decisions in your personal life and be positive. ๐
