This strikes me less as the usual WEF demon shenanigans and more of the typical near-futurist nonsense. Granted, the near-futurists tend to be the loudest of their useful idiot army, but on the whole, their own ideas tend to only be stupid, not evil.

This, for example, is only stupid insofar that it's only ever been done in a lab, and that we have no idea what the large-scale hurdles of it would be. That's before we get to the inevitable bureaucratic parasitism that ruins any potential economic feasibility, of course. That said, if you could wave a magic wand and turn concrete structures into batteries without electrocuting people when it rains or giving everyone cancer, there's really nothing evil about that.

This article only really exists because it's cred for the autistic near-futurists that will back up just about anyone who tells them their fantasies are possible. Like von Braun and rockets, except with a room temperature IQ and underwhelming vision.
