Comment on Solar Photovoltaics with Battery Storage Cheaper than Conventional Power Plants
NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 months agoHow resilient are these batteries to flooding? I live on the Texas coast and have been through enough hurricanes that I know that flooding is just inevitable here. I’m not trying to play down the effectiveness of the technology, just wondering how they might fare compared to our terrible power systems in Texas?

You’d probably site them on higher ground outside of the flood plane. Add in flood walls, etc. if storm surge is a concern

There really isn’t any “outside the flood plane” around here. Or flood walls. Or infrastructure. God. Why do I live here?
