Australia installed battery farms made from of EV batteries to cope with the discrepancies between supply and demand.
You can’t turn the wind on when it’s calm, but you can turn wind turbines off, and solar still generates power on dull days, just less.
Oversupply of cheap clean green energy is the win. Right wingers can fuck right off with the coal firing.
Anyway, you could have written something more balanced from the start instead of leading with the contextless FUD like some maga nut or petrochemical shill would.

Yeah carbon capture is nonsense and we just have to stop burning the carbon, it’s the only sane option.
Wind and solar is absolutely used note for grid, and increasingly. Whoever is telling you you can’t use them for grid is telling a bare faced lie. Onshore wind being the cheapest energy isn’t theoretical. It’s practical. It’s now.

Sound plan. I wish I had done so a decade ago before the global price hikes by the oil industry.

(There’s no way solar or wind generate enough energy, for several decades at least)
Only because it’s not being built, so really very very very misleading.
In sunny places like the southern parts of the USA, if you took the land footprint of a typical nuclear power station and covered it with solar panels with regular sized walkways in between, you generate pretty much the same power output, but with none of the toxic nuclear waste.
If you put a used EV battery under every 40-80 of them now you have 24 hour instantly responsive power.
Onshore wind power is the cheapest way of generating electricity, by some margin.
Guess why we’re not doing all this. Is it the cost? Of course not! It’s far more expensive to build a nuclear power plant. Is it the output? Of course not! Is it the environmental impact? Of course not! Is it the political lobbying and online FUD from vested interests in the power industry? Bingo bingo bingo! Of course it is!

This is exactly it, I think. Or maybe he’s just in it so much that there’s not a lot left without him.

Epstein “best friend” Trump chief among them, still working to help actual real life adults who have molested minors evade justice. Trump has always publicly lusted after under age girls, including famously his own daughter.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 days ago:
Some executive noticed that they can’t sell you larger cloud storage if you haven’t used it up.
Then someone on the office copilot team said they wished they had access to more comprehensive data about what people write with office apps and the rest is history.

Amazon is the most efficient money extraction machine from people in history and AWS is the most efficient money extraction machine in history from businesses. Musk is better at extracting money from the US government, which is why he’s richer than Bezos.

You invent so much of my side of the conversation. You argue with what you’d prefer I had said because it’s so easy to disagree with and knock down. You’ve invented this whole nonsense viewpoint and life history for me just so you can come across as more sensible. But it’s insane because it has almost nothing to do with what I said and everything to do with your prejudices and your inability to have some self control over your judgementalism and your condemnatory impulses.
You’ve gotta be rightwing.
Bad people who make bad choices deserve all the bad things that come their way and some more flung at them by you just to show them how wrong they are? That’s where you’re coming from here.
