      With embedded battery, where neither depend on mined metals, both are biodegradable and non toxic, and it’s carbon fixing (negative greenhouse gas impact). Yeah that’s fucking groundbreaking.

        You don’t need a battery, just a capacitor for these levels of power draw, and you would be hard pressed to find a material that is more abundant on earth then silicon.
