I know. I spend a lot of time assessing credibility of sources and reliability of their data, sources and methodology. This article is a dashed off reaction with rapid fire confirmation of pre-existing knowledge in response to a LinkedIn post by someone who really should have known better, but who I am beginning to believe has a predisposition to molecules for energy. Chemical engineer, not an electrochemical engineer.

I don't do academic publishing unless a publisher reaches out and asks me specifically for permission to include an existing piece in their journal or text book.

Despite that, my publications are already included in course reading in many institutions, referenced by major analysts like Goldman Sachs and cited in reports, academic works and books by luminaries including Professor Bent Flyvbjerg's How Big Things Get Done.

I occupy a weird space in that at least some of my work has come be included in the gray literature category.

If this piece as it stands doesn't rise to your required standards, that's okay. I'm not trying to get there, just to inform, shape policy and accelerate climate action. This isn't a data-centric article like my ongoing analyses of the natural experiment of renewables vs nuclear in China or the lengthy piece on why small modular reactors are mostly bad policy.

Take care.
