I like that they put “could” in there. A lot of articles claim improvements “are” coming to solar or battery, then it never happens.

M8, this is science, we’re on c/science. Something that can do something but isn’t verified in a specific environment is a “could”. This is how literally every single advancement is made.

So I’m rather confused why it’s distasteful to have a feed of new information that we didn’t know before. Which is scientific news.

They didn’t claim it’s distasteful, quite the opposite.

I suppose tone is rather difficult on the internet (see: Poe’s Law). To me the tone was one of distaste/unsatisfaction with the “could”. As if OP is upset that hey keep seeing “could” but no actual implementation.
