My pleasure. In life, we all make decisions with information we have. I work in propulsion for a living, but have a side-job with battery chemistries and energy storage. The NASA job pays my bills, the lithium job is what is going to allow me to retire comfortably. So, that’s what I spend my spare time on.

EV’s are not a suitable replacement for everyone - just as the first automobiles could not replace the horse for decades. We are heading that way, but it will take a few years.

The biggest shakeup I see, is instead of a central, nation-wide power grid that is subject to catastrophic failures (one area goes down - everyone suffers), I see it becoming more modular. Which makes it more robust, more adaptable, and more powerful. That’s what we all want
