The US is no longer the technological leader of the world. While our scientists are screwing around with boner pills and fake AI girlfriends, Chinese scientists are building thorium reactors and EVs that charge in under one minute.

Seriously, wtf are we doing?

@dogzilla Even if they can create a battery chemistry that charges in a minute without damage, which is unlikely despite claims to the contrary, it would take 6 megawatts of electrical energy to charge a 100kw battery pack in a minute. A typical substation is between 16-63 Megawatts, so ONE substation could charge between two cars and ten, the economics simply are not there.
