Definitely not a bribe ..

That is true, I would have thought California would be ripe for it given its mountains.

Pumped hydro is rapid power restoration. It takes no time to spin up and can deliver vast quantities of power. The original idea was that you used you baseline grid power to load it and then if your coal turbines blew up you started dropping the stored water to deliver emergency power. The more modern concept is that you use renewables to pump the water uphill while they are available and drop the water when they are not. It's a more functional version of the concrete block tower storage that was banged on about a few years ago. It's also proven tech, there are functional implementations of pumped hydro all over the place and they have been in place for decades.

You'd think with all the mountains they'd be building pumped hydro instead of batteries

Crikey, that's is certainly a bunch of weird little guys. In my mind I always see people focused on privacy and open source as being more about supporting rights and equality, but I guess they also skew into supporting what they see as the rights of arseholes to be arseholes which is ridiculous.

I don't really think I could use the word favourite to describe any of them .. but I guess I see Stallmans name and never considered he might be a fuckwit, so I guess him because I like a good shock.

Thanks!

Where's the article?

Lol "Weird little guys of FOSS"

He's also a climate change denier, sovereign citizen and supporter of a total abortion ban in Australia. Basically he's a complete piece of shit.

Yeah, it just surprises me how low we can go =(

I loved watching him avoid highlighting how much poorer future elderly Australians will be with their shit super plan like the piece of shit that he is. This is "just print more money" all over again ..
