[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why you think utility scale batteries are unfathomable. They represent a significant amount of generating capacity added to the grid in 2023.

And the reasons we continue to increase extraction of fossil fuels have nothing to do with levels of renewable energy on the grid it’s because there is no political will to stop doing it. So instead we have started exporting— 10 millions bpd last year. We are basically at Saudi Arabia’s level of oil exports. [/quote]

Here’s some more evidence that utility-scale batteries are not “unfathomable” but are actually being currently used—

That’s not evidence. That’s a meaningless graph without any context. 20 GW for how long? And at what cost? Your child can power a light bulb by riding a bike at the science center, so maybe that was, what, 40 watts? Your child can’t do that for more than a couple minutes, tops, if he really has to sprint to get the full 40.[/quote]
