Long duration is good, but also not overly flexible. Having 8x 1 hour batteries can give you 8 hours of duration or 8x the power for 1 hour at a similar price.

Good watch.

Interesting snippet from a company who track battery development, sales and usage worldwide. In 2024 Australia commissioner 2.8GW of grid scale batteries. In 2025 there’s 20GW (maybe 30, memory fails me so go with 20) planned, of which you can expect about 70% to get done on schedule.

So even with the lesser of the two numbers in my memory banks, that’s a a bump from 2.8GW to 14GW of storage in a year.

Crazy.

And they just fired NASA’s Chief Science Officer who is a staunch advocate of climate science and the need for science agencies to be working on the multiple fronts.

Yeah, good work Pete! You’re darn right that Defence has no interest in fuel/energy security, or increasing self-sufficiency in logistics, or having training areas that aren’t underwater or on fire (or both at the same time!), or any other kind of hippie, woke crap. Keep it up, bro!

He’s just getting on with ‘warfighting’ for his Prez, who just cleared out all the warmongers.

Must have been done in the arvo, he badly needed a drink

Goldie will recover

I assume because you replied to my post about insurance that this relates to that? I can’t see the angle, though.

It was a general post but hey councils just keep building all over australia wjere they shouldn’t and then people wonder why they can’t get insured

This seems a bit hypocritical to the agenda??

Brazil not being serious about climate negotiations because they like land clearing too much? Welcome to the last 30 years. Next revelation will be that Saudi Arabia is not entirely sincere about weaning the global economy off oil.
