And how do you explain the change to more renewables in SK, ND, Great Britain, Australia, California, Germany, Denmark.........., the list is long.
The Australian operator we discussed a few weeks ago already said wind and solar are the cheapest generation sources now. She is on the ground making decisions based on current facts not based on outdated information.
Do you think an igloo will work in Australia?
It’s very effective in the Arctic

Did anyone actually read the articles on this?
From what I could find, the smaller 730 MWh plant covers 4.5 acres.
Lifespan of 20 years. So, that is promising, battery technology must have progressed, because I don't know anyone with a 20 year old cordless tool, or cellphone still functioning on the original battery.
No cost estimate anywhere I could find.

Its overpriced cars and bogus solar schemes are just fodder for the green crowd. None of it is anywhere near to mainstream adoption.
But by all means keep hoping if that makes you feel better.
The world will still be powered by FF for at least the next decade until some nuke plants can get built. But since none have been permitted make that 25yrs.

We looked at every energy scheme we could and 99% of them got tossed out on economics.
So yeah, I know what I am talking about.
