Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere

  They don’t want working energy storage. That’s why there are so many fairy dust projects like nuclear fusion.

  And on the other hand, there are well-proven established techniques like heat pumps, OV panels, Lithium batteries, and saisonal heat storage. Which should be built and used at a large scale because they work - but aren’t.

  sure they do, why do you think they’re buying lithium mines? they love mining resources because it encourages the “infinite growth” feedback loop to keep going

    For 30 years I watched the fossils downplaying, lying about, covering-up the facts about free solar energy and other green tech. Now they see the writing on the wall, and they’re buying because that’s the way the wind blows … because They’re rapacious assholes, and never have enough money. They started in the US cutting down all the ancient forests, they’ll rape whatever looks like dollars.

      And wave power, which can complement wind and solar power.

      Look up [the Pelamis wave power plant[(m.youtube.com/watch?v=l3-SXFtPYe0&pp=ygU1cGVsYW1p…). Bought by E.ON , a fossil company. Then, E.ON killed the project.

      Now, the Chinese have copied it and are building it. What a grim joke.
