Not really an answer to you, just writing it here in case anyone else interested is still reading along:
I looked up some numbers and apart from the practical challenges of making a battery “go boom” in a controlled way it seems like the energy density to even make this a hypothetical option just isn’t there. Even the best LiPo batteries don’t quite reach 1 MJ/kg while gunpowder has ~3 MJ/kg, and numbers only go up from there for more modern chemical explosives.



The title of this post is one more pebble on the mountain of attacks against democracy and the rule of law in Europe. Sure, the EU could be improved a lot, but declaring it a joke and tearing it all down is certainly not going to make anything better; except maybe for authoritarian leaders in countries outside of the EU who want to go back to being able to bully around all those smaller nations individually.
