This will be good for renewables. Every solar inverter and wind turbine needs this stuff

they need something like two trillions for entire business to make sense, doesn't mean that they'll get it. zitron says the entire sector is worth something in tens of billions in revenue (not profit) per year

photovoltaic panels are just giant diodes you can run them in reverse and every panel gets that 0.6V voltage drop like any other silicon junction

has it ever had any effect on him?

Yeah they'll make medbeds any day now. Or maybe it's for their internal use only, because they'll noticed bubble and don't like what they're seeing. I wonder if they're foolish enough to vacuum up all data from companies that used their chatbots to come up with something hoping that no one will notice

Every single bit of that is so fucking stupid, they're replaying crypto playbook 1:1. Spot an industry that they think they'll manage in, then try to leech off of it in purest display of rentseeking imaginable, coupled with techbros folk belief that since programming is soo haard, then as they can do that they can do everything else too, all with no plan, no labs, no specialists onboard or faintiest idea what they're doing

That's definitely not a sign that Softbank runs out of money

scams and propaganda

that destination could be still somewhere with access to stranded fuel and with access to other port, like oman, or they could perhaps truck it to yanbu and ship from there, but it doesn't matter because price increase would probably need to be even bigger for it to make sense. facility would also need to run only on fraction of capacity, and there's probably no point in that if you can't export everything that's made there. currently it might be damaged anyway. what i mean is, there are problems solvable by throwing money at them, but it's probably not one of these

well it would be if refineries nearby would be running, but they don't, because there's no good logistics chain in place
