This is like the regular articles about some new fancy battery chemistry that will make EVs as quick to charge as an ICE.<p>It's effectively misinformation, because EVs are already better than ICE and just boring improvements to existing technology will provide improvements over the next fews years and decades.<p>But, a) people hawking a new innovation need to grab eyeballs, and b) people fighting the future have saturated the media with BS to stop progress on EVs, renewables, recycling etc. and those two things combine to become potent misinformation.<p>Recycling is already cheaper than making things from petroleum. It only doesn't happen in places where people think they can push the cost onto someone else. They don't realise that they are someone else's someone else and will end up paying the price they think they have cleverly avoided.<p>Amusingly, the voices that have said "recycling plastic is impossible" have been so succesful, that there's now democratic support in many places for just banning many uses of plastics. Which was an unintended impact of these petroleum fueled lies. They've recently switched to attacking plastic bans, by promising that tech like this, will make plastic recyclable in the future.<p>Whether pro or anti recycling, they remain consistently anti-regulation.
