Small steps taken many times gets you far. At some point the scaling will kick in and ramp up even more.
This is true, but it also assumes continued investment and steady progress.

We had been making some headway in terms of clean energy before the current administration started undoing a lot of that progress. And there is no telling what the next administration will do.

That's wild that they are doing direct refrigerant cooling instead of liquid and liquid-refrigerant heat exchangers, unless I misread what "direct refrigerant" means.
I've been hearing about some recent sodium ion developments from CATL and BYD. If price estimates are to be believed, things could get interesting.
