Solution: Don't be fucking greedy. Take what's you need. Stop taking when you've got enough.
Do you think energy company scientists are gonna tell you what's real, or will they tell you what their boss pays them to say? I'll take the armchair scientist. YouTuber scientist preferably.
Managing an energy grid is an incredible feat of engineering and the fact that some countries have basically 24/7 constant voltage electricity is nothing short of a miracle.
And yes I will trust the academics and engineers who have spent ages documenting these processes and building the solutions. I studied this for a while at university. Every professor in that field is an environmentalist and guess what they still taught us about the issues with solar and wind instability and energy storage.
most armchair ass comment I read all day lmao
Oohhh, you're one of them. You're gonna preach to people that they shouldn't just get batteries eh? Your economy of scale means nothing while your bosses are charging more than that efficiency does for me. It's cool to engineer big awesome stuff that's so capable, but not when it's a leash. I don't think you're incapable. I think your industry is greedy and has leverage that nobody should have and pretty much won't work anymore.
There's nothing wrong with getting a battery, especially if you have solar panels. What I'm saying is we can't cover everybodys needs with them right now, both economically and materially.
What industry are you talking about?
Why not?
the amount of batteries we'd need would require an insane amoint of lithium, plus lithium ion batteries don't last that long and need to be replaced after a few years of heavy use
No it wouldn't. They don't have to be lithium for houses. Houses don't move.
Are you just winding me up hahah
