     Yeah, and absolutely non-recyclable ... from the HUGE TOXIC
     BATTERIES to

   You obviously ignored my mention of Sodium replacing toxic Lithium

   This guy, who co-invented the Lithium-Ion battery, is again
   re-inventing the field.

     the ALLOY METALS AND COMPOSITE PLASTICS that these shiny pieces of
     JUNK
     are made from, unlike my Travelall that became a 2 ton cube of
     reusable
     steel.

   You also ignored my mention of additive metal metal manufacture (was a
   topic thread here a year or so back) which is already maturing and
   routinely used to create medical implants and for aerospace. if you
   have $500k - $750 you can have one delivered to your business and
   installed. The metal from these "printers" can deliver parts with up to
   90%+ of the grain structure and strength of those machined from "bar
   stock".
   If enough people demand cars made primarily from steel and aluminum
   they will undoubtedly be provided.
   Newer additive plastic printers can fabricate using plastics that are
   largely recyclable and environmentally friendly.

   Have you ever cracked a sodium filled exhaust valve from a modern
   automobile open and dropped it in a bucket of water? Do it
   [3]<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvVUtpdK7xw>. That way we'll most
   likely never have to see your posts on this list ever again.
   Your simplistic rose-colored-glasses worldview should be wiped from the
   slate along with you.
   Just the notion that filling landfills or hazmat disposal sites full of
   sodium batteries instead of lithium is somehow 'better' indicates a
   certain STUPIDITY only seen in consumer capitalist societies with
   half-educated morons desperate to keep accumulating shiny shit.
   Further, where the FUCK are you going to get the power so "Newer
   additive plastic printers can fabricate using plastics that are largely
   recyclable and environmentally friendly."?
   Coal. Natural Gas (parboil instead of suffocate)
   Fuck off and die, and hopefully your phantasm of a technological
   panacea will die with you. Not likely though ... there's a mental
   midget who will never be able to 'connect-the-dots' born every minute.
