Reply to Medical robots assisting in surgery at PBGMC, surgeons reporting quicker recovery by darth_nadoma
With the Mako, surgeons can do CAT scans and get the most accurate picture of the patient's anatomy, which they input into the medical robot. The Mako, under the surgeon's control, is less invasive and more precise, which surgeons are noticing leads to unbelievable results for their patients.

With human workers demanding higher wages and low birth rates decreasing their supply, the demand for robots is increasing. 2022 was yet another record year for robot orders in North America. The robots are expanding from assembly to material handling and other fields. Automobile industry is still the largest purchaser of industrial robots. But interest in robots from other industries is growing

That was Pliny the Elder who said that. And that documentary I watched had archeologists confirm that it was probably true.
They showed a druid statue in Germany with a Mistletoe hat, and a Danish gold cauldron similar to the one in Obelix story, actually it inspired a lot of the comics.

Reply to China EV Exports Surge by darth_nadoma
Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory will export more than 200 thousand cars out of China in 2022. Renault and BMW are also producing electric vehicles in China for export abroad. Volkswagen will join them in 2023.
And then you’ve got the Chinese brands themselves. “SAIC saw its EV
exports jump to 78,000 vehicles in the first three quarters, mostly with
the MG brand that it acquired in 2007. Rival BYD exported 22,000
vehicles and plans to do a lot more volume in 2023 as it continues to
enter new markets. Companies including Xpeng, Nio and Great Wall also
have announced big expansion plans.

Reply to South Africa’s Eskom Starts Construction Of Its First Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage Project by darth_nadoma
It is the first large scale Electricity storage facility in the Republic of South Africa and on the continent as a whole. Indeed we are seeing a growing wave of such developments in various corners of the world map.
Construction will take between seven and twelve months and the batteries
on the site will be charged from the main grid via Eskom’s Elandskop
substation. The facility will have a capacity of 8 MW, equivalent to 32
MWh of distributed electricity, enough to power a town such as Howick
for four hours. Among the notable benefits of the BESS is that it will
boost the network during peak hours, thereby reducing the strain on the
network during peak hours.

Reply to Netherlands: Integrated Rooftop Solar Panels, Wind Turbines For High Rise Buildings by darth_nadoma
PowerNEST is an integrated solar-wind electricity system for the high rise buildings (buildings with at least five floors) . It has already been installed in five projects across the Netherlands, IBIS power is currently working on installing these units on 12 more.
According to IBIS Power, the ready-made system may create 6 to 10 times more electricity than standalone rooftop solar.

Two large renewable power plants are to be built in Egypt providing over one million people with the cheapest electricity in Africa.
560 MW Abydos Solar plant would be located in the Southern Aswan Governorate.
While 505 MW Amunet Wind power plant would be located in the Suez governorate in the north-east.
Solar plant is expected to be completed in 18 months, and the wind project will be operational in 30 months.

People who mocked electric cars stated that electric heavy trucks are impossible due to battery weight. But now they available for ordering from Renault. With manufacturing facility located at Bourg-en-Bresse, in the middle of France.
Weighing in at 44 tons, and capable of going 300 km on a single charge. Although Manufacturers still don't say how much weight will they be able to carry. Guess that depends on the distance.
