Songs are repeated melodies following standard structure.
Plenty of music isn’t. But maybe the joy there is that it’s not as repetitive?

I doubt that. That’s TWhs of storage, i feasable unless you’ve the geography for pumped storage.
- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 2 weeks ago:
The balcony ones are usually lower power a set (500W to 800W).
The higher the power, the higher the current given the fixed voltage. You’ll need thicker wires, different breakers, better heath insulation, etc.
Then there’s the jackass enthousiasts that plug 5 of these things into a single extension cord to take into account.

I haven’t numbers or data, so just from personal point of view: Lax building code as in you can build the weirdest looking building in the middle of a forest, yes. The 60s to 90s were like that.
But the building always had to be up to code: if you wanted electricity, it had to be up to code. If you wanted water, you also needed correct sewage. Transactional, in a way.
The first, buildings whereever, has also changed, gradually, since the 00s. “Betonstop” is the name used, translates to “concrete stop”.

Next year they become legal In Belgium too. They currently are banned due to electrical/fire safety code.
- Comment on Baseload power generators not needed to guarantee supply, say science and engineering academies 3 weeks ago:
“A combination of solar and wind energy with storage, a flexible hydrogen system, flexible electricity demand and residual load power plants will be necessary for a climate-friendly and reliable electricity supply,” the academies said.
Well yes. The only requirement is that supply ~= demand.
What I wonder about is: there’s no electrolytic hydrogen production, beyond lab tests. It’s been the big solution for energy storage for decades now, used in plenty of simulations such as this one. What’s going on?
- Comment on Lower-cost sodium-ion batteries are finally having their moment 3 weeks ago:
What’s currently the best, commercially available, technology for home batteries?
So minimize USD per kWh, at least 10kW power, little limit on size and weight, rather it don’t catch fire easily. LiFePO4 still?

- Comment on EV sales could reach up to 60 million items per year by 2030 with battery material shortages named a challenge 1 month ago:
Major sales, and increase in sales, as well as production of vehicles, and manufacturing, seems to be china (1).
In china EVs are a mass market product. In the western world it’s a luxury product, with tarrifs to keep it that way.
